Eating Habits

gogators Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/10/02	2003/10/07, 05:23 AM I've started a new program with freetrainers.com. I also am trying to eat as suggested instead by the program, instead of just whatever I feel like. Anyway my question is; What if I can't eat as much as suggested. I'm used to only eating a small lunch (at noon) and an average size dinner(around 9 PM). With the plan that I was given, I have to eat like 6 times in a day...I just can't get that much food in...any suggestions? I struggle getting dinner in sometimes, and that's eating at about 9 pm. I don't want to drink protein shakes either. Can anyone help? Also, how do you determine if you lose weight fast or slow? I know this question is a little sloppy, but it's late and I'm about to fall asleep! Sorry! Thanks in advance for any help! JS

After a few weeks of working out and eating more, you will get used to it and actually be ready for those extra snacks. When all else fails add a MRP and have a protein shake after your workouts. That will add some calories and good protein. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

If you eat luch at noon eat only half then and the other half between 2 1/2 to 3 hours later. You also didnt say anything about breakfest? Remember after you sleep for those good 8 hours your muscles are hungry and you need to feed them.
