Mokam - two workout a day some days - others days one, and at least one full rest day a week. Running & then a mix of gym classes/swimming. Intensive exercise has always killed my appetite, so the harder workout in the evening actually suits. Saying that, I've done nothing since Monday night this week as there was some work I needed to get done, so that may also not have helped.
The 6 hours suits within the other constraints I have, i.e. work not looking favourably on people trying to take an 11 o'clock lunch break, followed by another at 2. I'm too full after lunch for further snacking.
Nick - you may well have a point there. Last week I had more time to prepare heaps of veggies (not that I tested my brain outside work, admittedly), this week I needed quicker food, which did end up carb heavy.
I guess it's a long time since I've properly listened to my body's response to food & it is fascinating, I just need to stop expecting to instantly get it right & enjoy the journey.
