Makes sense....thank you for clarifying.

Just so you know, many people eat like you describe. If I have a lot of work I need to do in a day I will eat a high protein breakfast....then I am usually so busy I don't eat lunch. When I was working I played racquetball at lunch instead of eating....would bring fruit or a snack bar for if I got hungry in the afternoon. Then eat a normal dinner with family if I was home from work or get a fast takeout at a good restaurant if I had to work late. I still eat only 1 or 2 meals a day. Now if I eat a big lunch with friends it is usually my only meal for the day. When I allowed myself to buy potato chips or candy....that is what started to put on the weight.

No snacks in the house now & I allow myself one dish of ice cream or fruit salad with french vanilla pudding. It does keep weight controlled which for me is important too getting older & trying to stay healthy since I went through a few extreme periods in both directions.
