How critical is the timing of meals and snacks?
I tend to get bogged down with details.
I thought the timing was about every 2 hours, but I cannot make that work with my schedule. Please help me figure it out. Thank you!
If I follow the two hours rule, the schedule should look like this.
Breakfast 8:30
Snack 10:30
Lunch 12:30
Snack 2:30
Dinner 4:30
Snack 6:30
That schedule doesn't work well with my lifestyle. This is what would work better for me.
Breakfast 8:30
Snack 10:30
Lunch noon
Snack 2:00
Another snack 4:00
Dinner 6:30
Snack 10:30
I go to bed about midnight to 1:00 am.
Is this ok? How to I figure out adding a second snack between lunch and dinner. Do I use some of the carb allowance from dinner? I don't think I can go 4.5 hours without eating anything. I always feel like I get lightheaded at around the 2-2.5 hour mark. (I don't know what the numbers are as I just started testing this morning.)
The carb allowance schedule I am starting out with is as follows.
Breakfast 30
Snack 15
Lunch 30
Snack 15
Dinner 45
Snack 15
