eating...

I'm not a nutritionist. However, I do think eating 5-6 small meals a day including snacks is a great way to keep your metabolism burning and actually help you burn more calories and fat. Here's an example of a typical day of eating for me:

6 a.m. coffee
6:30 a.m. egg sandwitch (this is the egg english muffin recipe I listed)
8:00 a.m. cappuchino and 1 slice whole grain toast with 1tbsp almond butter
10:30 a.m. apple / tea
11:30-12:30 lunch usually a sweet potato with cinnamon and some salmon or a turkey wrap and a cup of fruit
2p.m. cup of fruit
4 p.m. hand full of almonds / hot tea an apple or grapes if I'm hungry
5:30 dinner this varies so I'll put veggie lasagna as a suggestion
7:30 green tea
(If I'm hungry before I go to bed I will eat a cup of kashi go lean cereal or another 140/150 calorie snack)
my bedtime is usually around 10 p.m.

so this gives you an idea of how I'm pretty much always eating! But if you notice, it's a lot of fruits and veggies and lean protein sources..oh..and whole grains :)
