OMAD or two meals versus multiple smaller meals daily routines and sustainability

I don't usually have anything in the morning. My first meal comes around midday, with the second after I finish my job for the day. That setup gives me an 18:6 fasting window. It fits me really well. While on the job I also have protein shakes.

I eat three meals each day from Tuesday through Sunday, and I fast every Monday. When my protein intake falls short, I sometimes use shakes the way you mentioned, though that doesn't come up often. So far I can't locate one with decent flavor and easy absorption.

My mornings begin with nothing but coffee. Everything I consume fits inside a daily six-hour stretch. That means two main dishes along with a quick protein item such as a bar or dried meat. The remaining time is an eighteen-hour stretch without food. I've followed this pattern for four months and like how it feels.

I used to skip any food until around midday, drinking lots of water in advance, followed by a second meal in the evening hours. I'm trying to keep my last bite farther from bedtime, though hitting the gym once work finishes often forces that meal to about four in the afternoon. Lately it ends up as either a single sitting between one and four or two smaller ones from eleven until four.

Right after getting up i need to hold off on food for about an hour because of the morning thyroid medication, and those glps make absorption slower so extra time is needed. next comes an energy drink. midday i usually blend two scoops of protein and add a bar, like one focused on energy, protein or fiber or even a mix. after work i sometimes train at the gym first then return to eat, or head straight home for the main evening meal followed by a light bite later before wrapping up. i've kept food away from bedtime by a few hours since it helps rest and those gh pulses. overall that adds up to a lunch that's mostly liquid, a large dinner and one small snack.

My days consist of three main meals along with one or two snacks scattered in. Every item gets built around protein as the key part. Portions stay modest since large amounts in a single go feel off for me. I deliberately steer clear of continuous nibbling between those times. Food intake wraps up by seven each night. Coffee waits until I reach work or until two hours pass after rising when home, all to handle stress hormones better. Water flows steadily from morning through the evening.

Whether it's the right approach or not, my meals happen just once daily, typically in the late afternoon. Along with that, I consume a pair of protein drinks each day that add up to roughly eighty grams of protein combined. This brings my daily intake to somewhere between one hundred eighty and two hundred grams total. For as long as I can recall, consuming food tends to leave me feeling somewhat sluggish, which is why I avoid it near my workout periods, resulting in my single evening meal.

I usually stick to three main eating periods daily with one or two smaller bites mixed in. Most of my energy intake happens earlier because I begin consuming food sooner and wrap up sooner as well. What counts as my final main portion near mid-afternoon actually feels more like an oversized bite. Anything later tends to be just a tiny bite close to late afternoon before I stop completely.

Twice a day. Very low-carb/keto with plenty of butter daily for energy, resulting in no hunger.

For ages I kept trying one big daily meal since it seemed handy, yet it never suited me because I'd stay famished all day and then feel stuffed and uneasy once I finished eating at night. Two meals with fewer carbs work better instead. I eat them around midday and in the evening. I've never liked food early in the day. Those powdered protein drinks can trip me up, haha. It's way too easy to take in far too many calories from them alone before I notice. So I focus on getting protein from actual food.

My daily intake happens across three meals plus two snacks, all crammed into seven hours starting at eleven in the morning and wrapping by six. Mornings feel straightforward since the shots need three hours after not eating, and I stick to plain coffee without anything added. First meal consists of a shake with protein and a bar packed with protein. Then some assorted nuts as a bite. Next comes two pears alongside a burger made from ground chicken. Another snack involves berries mixed with zero-fat yogurt. The final meal is a bean-heavy chili using lean ground beef. Gas happens a lot for me, particularly after beginning that medication, though these releases are silent and odorless. My total usually lands between fourteen hundred and sixteen hundred calories.

Two attempts so far. Morning meals were never part of my habits and that has not changed.

I bring a couple cheese sticks along with some meat jerky and a snack pack when heading into my job early in the morning. My biggest eating happens in the afternoon once my shift ends. Then a smaller evening meal later on. These days I'm focused on staying under my daily limit instead of hitting a target. Consuming food on the job tends to make me sluggish and less effective at getting things done.

Three meals keep me going throughout the day. Attempting to skip eating makes me feel weak, angry, and starving, which is why I avoid it. Mornings start with protein-rich yogurt stirred together with granola bits. Around midday I prepare a combination of vegetables and meat, frequently using a ready-made salad pack and adding some poultry or beans. My last meal of the day comes close to five thirty and includes meat, vegetables, plus a starchy item.

I've been spacing out my meals more frequently these past days to avoid feeling wiped out from the medication. Now I'm concerned that my glucose might be falling too low.

My appetite usually kicks in around mid-morning and mid-afternoon. A dish mixing grains with vegetables gets covered in spicy sauce. On evenings when I stay awake past dark, a slice of bread topped with nut butter sometimes settles my stomach enough for rest. That sensation feels strange. After finishing my first meal of the day my thoughts used to jump right to the next one.

Around seven in the morning I blend a shake using thirty-five grams of protein powder along with mushroom coffee. It contains minimal caffeine and serves as my single source for the whole day. I sip it gradually over thirty to forty-five minutes while swallowing several simple supplements. Near ten I swallow two fiber capsules with plenty of water. Between noon and one I eat a tiny high-protein dish from my prepared food. Around three or four I have a protein-rich snack such as a yogurt-based drink or a clean bar plus a greens packet and a few extra basic supplements. Near seven I repeat the small high-protein prepared dish. That describes my usual pattern though I consume food whenever my body signals hunger. Given the intense calorie restriction I follow every stomach cue without hesitation.

I start mornings with coffee around eight. Then I spend sixty to ninety minutes on weights and jogging. By eleven I drink a protein mix that includes banana, peanut butter, blueberries, and milk. Mid-afternoon I eat a few nuts. Around three thirty comes a modest serving of chicken or burger with toast, fermented cabbage, and an egg. In the evening near seven I have salmon or half a steak plus another egg and broccoli.

I once ate massive morning meals, sometimes fifteen hundred to two thousand calories with bacon, eggs, cheese, and potatoes even on quiet days. With this current regimen I have to make myself finish the shake at eleven, yet it always feels filling afterward and appetite stays low the rest of the time.

For my morning meal I keep things basic with toasted bread that's high in protein, a firm boiled egg, and a sausage patty I made myself. At midday I grab a shake loaded with protein along with some meat such as beef, steak, pork, chicken or fish. I pair it with either steamed vegetables or cottage cheese plus a sliced tomato. Now and then I take a sweet potato that's been split in two, or I slice it into sticks and toss them in the air fryer.

Appetite stays away from me while the sun is up, though on my break from work around half past one I prepare a shake by adding collagen and creatine to protein powder. Dinner comes after my shift ends, commonly between six and half past, or even past midnight on occasion. Sleep doesn't come until half past three in the morning or later. This routine suits me well.

Hearing everyone discuss their jobs really turns my stomach.

My meals happen just twice each day and consist almost entirely of meat along with eggs so my protein needs get covered.

I time my schedule around an eighteen to six fast window as well. Skipping the morning meal entirely. Eating only at midday and in the evening. Both those meals packed with protein along with vegetables.

I sip on a collagen-boosted coffee near midday and repeat that a couple hours afterward. My single evening meal lands between six and seven. One-meal daily eating stays steady for me when I limit myself to meat plus fat. Toss in any starch or milk product and I end up battling surprise cravings for several days straight.

Truthfully speaking, consuming substantial amounts of food has been quite challenging for me. Protein shakes that combine everything work well, and I consume plenty of coffee along with water.

I eat just once each day and add a protein drink or some cookies to it.

On work days I stick to one solid meal at dinner. Lunch is usually yogurt and I grab more yogurt snacks in the afternoon. Off days I aim for something more filling at lunch like soup or eggs with toast.

Reta is keeping my appetite down so I have to push myself to eat. Breakfast might be porridge made with lactose free milk and a bit of sweetener. Lunch or afternoon snack is a protein shake blended with Greek yoghurt. Dinner changes but stays clean. Most days I fall short of my 1400 to 1500 calorie target so I add another shake. Still wondering how everyone else fits in their vitamins.

Around 7:45 I have Greek yoghurt mixed with protein powder, creatine, chia seeds, raspberries and a few nuts. Lunch around 1 is chicken in a wrap or salad, or beef mince with sweet potato and salad. Dinner around 7 is steak, salmon, chicken or mince with sweet potato and veg or salad. These choices keep me satisfied on mounjaro and match my macros. When I skip the medication for a while I still try to follow the same meals but end up snacking on what feels like hundreds of kit kats in between.

For three years now I’ve eaten two meals daily. Started keto the first year then moved to low carb. On reta I keep it low carb and high protein. First meal hits around noon and the second comes after the gym between seven and eight.
