What do i do? not a big morning eater

[caper]

CUTTING RELATED

hey guys...ive done a few diets before and i have a general question...

ive NEVER been a big morning breakfast or early lunch person....if i eat like the rule says, "like a king for breakfast, queen for lunch, and peasant for dinner", i about die...

i feel like im stuffing my face all morning till lunch. I like plain oats with alittle splenda but i can only shove/force myself to swallow maybe half a bowl of it...about 40% of the time i have to puke...

my appetite doesnt kick in till about 6pm...usually after i do my workout at 4:30 (running/weights and such)

what can i do to change my eating patterns?

ive never had a problem with not being able to eat when im cutting, post your diet so we can help you out better

as far as not eating when you are hungry, thats just willpower. however ive found that sugerfree popsicles help out with the craving quite a bit

This can be from a few different factors. But I need more info. to maybe help you address your problem. First question, have you been working out previously? if so has it been consistent? and how long has it been on a regular basis if so? Second question, how is your sleeping pattern and what line of work are you in? Do you sleep enough? is your job physically demanding? The problem here is probably your metabolism, when you first begin training or eating it feels like your stuffing yourself the first few weeks, until your metabolism picks up and then you feel like your never eating enough. Sleep can also effect your appetite, if you sleep too little you may not be hungry, or if your overtrained you may also not be hungry. Give us more info please, and stats as well as age

Increase your food intake little by little. Don't try and just wolf down entire meals starting out. Eating little more at a time will strech your stomach and after a while it will require you to eat more to get full.

I use to be the same as you. I would never even eat in the mornings. After using the method above i went from eating nothing to eating, just this morning, a bowl of oats (2 servings) w/ 10 eggs.

AS far as my job goes...it is 7:30 to 4pm...i am a mechanical engineer and sit at my desk all day on the computer...i have to walk around getting paperwork and meetings but NO physical labor.

my sleep cycle is ok...i try to get to bed at about 10-11pm and wake up at 6:40am

I work out quirt often, usually 2 weeks on, 1 week off so i dont get extremly bored with cardio

I got a bunch of snacks off the forum just now...fat free popsicles, honey roasted peanuts, fat free jerky, veggies..along with my normal stuff like shakes...

so its VERY critical i eat alot in the morning right?
