This is great Baraka...

Can I play out a couple of breakfast scenarios for you to comment on? For some reason, I have not been hungry for breakfast lately. I think this may be the result of a shifted diurnal schedule brought on by the Christmas holidays and taking 2 weeks off of work, staying up late, getting up late. But now, when I get up at 6 am, I have a cup of coffee, but feel no hunger until around 9 am, and therefore no desire to prepare or eat breakfast until then.

So on Monday I had my 6:30 am coffee at home, then left for work at 8 AM. Once at work, I went across to Tim Horton's and bought a medium with cream and a bacon breakfast sandwich (approx 9:15).

I was not hungry for lunch at noon, but had a chicken shawarma nonetheless, followed up by a Starbucks coffee.

For dinner (6 PM) My wife created one of her signature home - cooked chinese dishes: beef sliced thin, stirfried with garlic, ginger and sliced tomatoes, served over basmati rice (white & brown mixed) and steamed broccoli & carrots on the side.

Snacked on left over christmas baking later on (around 10 pm) and a piece of dark chocolate toblerone)

That was scenario 1.

Recognizing that I should force myself to eat breakfast before Tim Horton's beckons, on tuesday, scenario two played out: I had a coffee at approx 6:30 AM (while watching city TY) and then had a bowl of Life cereal, with Kashi and bran buds, 2 percent milk, not Homo - but I do use half and half cream in my coffee). Lunch: left over PB&J sandwhich from Monday (I had the shawarma instead that day) with two small yoghurts and a mandarin orange. Dinner at 6:30: Whole wheat penne & rotini with italian sausage tomato sauce on top. TV snack at around 10 PM: pate, Hickory Farms smokey cheddar cheese, triskets and grapes, followed by another piece of toblerone.

So, nutritionally, am I screwed up? I do excercise regularly - Half hour of weights at lunch on Monday, Half hour of running (outside - 5 km) on Tuesday, Half hour of weights again today. running again tomorrow, and hockey tomorrow night. I weigh 180lbs.
