A little back story. I'm 31 (almost 32). I have 2 kids (11 and 6). I used to weigh 167lbs and I'm now down to 145lbs. At my heaviest (167lbs) my bf% was over 30...I had my bf% checked about a month ago and at 145lbs my bf% was at 21%. I'm 5'0" so, all that weight looks terrible on me...My goal is to get down into the 130 range and have 10-12% bf. My "better me" journey started in August 2012. It's been a slow process, I've fallen off the wagon on many occasion. I'm happy to say I'm back on my way to improving my body. I workout 4-5 days a week, weight training and cardio. I lift weights 3-4 days a week for 30-45 min. Cardio is 5-6 days a week, anywhere from 25min (HIIT) to 45 min (elliptical, level 8-10 and sprint machine, level 5) I work graveyard (10pm-6:40am) Fri-Tues. I was trying to figure out my meals while at home and at work. I obviously can't go 8 hours without eating so here's how a typical day/night usually looks. I switch chicken with other lean meats (turkey breast, beef (bottom round trimmed fat), also, I don't always have the rice cake or cheese. I have the protein shake daily, sometimes twice.

Morning (between 7-7:30am)
Protein shake + 1 medium banana
1 slice pepper jack cheese
1 rice cake w/1 tbsp peanut butter

8am-12pm sleep

12pm
tuna (canned in water)
romaine lettuce (1/2 cup)
roma tomato (small)
avocado (cubed 1/4 cup)

3pm
rice cake w/1tbsp peanut butter

6pm
boneless/skinless chicken (grilled)
carrots, broccoli (steamed)
brown rice (1/2 cup cooked)

6pm-9pm sleep

9:15p
protein shake

So here is where it gets a little tricky. My first break is at 12:30am. I know my new day starts at midnight. My breaks go like this, 12:30am (15min), 3am (45min lunch), 5:00 (15 min). I never know what to eat/how much to eat at night. Typically it goes like this:

12:30am
medium apple w/2 tbsp peanut butter

3:00am
lean meat
tomato/avocado salad (black pepper, 1tbsp balsamic vinegar/olive oil)

5:00am
pistachios (1/8 cup)

then back to the routine above this (7am start)

I feel like I'm eating too much, I could be wrong but me myself, I feel that way. Maybe I'm not eating correctly or I'm eating too much of something (carbs, protein, fat). If anyone has any suggestions/comments/critique, anything, I'm open and willing to listen/try things out.

I can be a little picky as far as food goes. I don't eat eggs or any seafood other than tuna...Lame, I know lol! Looking forward to the responses
