What do you eat on a typical day

Do you have set meals? How healthy are you? Do you just eat when hungry?

Just this instant, I finished a 6 oz cup of vanilla Yoplait light yogurt with a cup of high fiber cereal and a handful of dried blueberries mixed in. This is a typical breakfast for me. I will also commonly eat a bowl of instant oatmeal with a handful of walnuts and a banana. I always have green tea with Splenda.

Around 2 to 3 hours from now, I will have a snack. Sometimes it will be a 12 oz can of V8 with a string cheese, or an apple and an ounce of cheese, or a rice cake with a table spoon of peanut butter.

For lunch I'll have a salad with protein (either lunch meat or tuna), soup, or oatmeal, leftovers from dinner the night before, or I'll make a sandwich on 15 grain bread.

2-3 hours later it is time for another snack. I'll have yogurt, or a handful of nuts and raisins...something quick because I have to cook dinner.

If hubby is home and not on a business trip, then I will make a regular meal consisting of a protein, starch and vegetable or two. If he's away on business, then I'll have a sandwich or a salad or something light like that.

Am I healthy? I'm better now that I've started to eat this way! I was eating just when I was hungry, and I was not eating enough. I was not losing weight and I could not understand why, I was hardly eating anything. I found out that I was insulin reactive hypoglycemic, and now that I eat small meals every 2-3 hours I've dropped a few pounds and have a lot more energy.
