    I am using Invisaligns ... it's cutting down a lot of eating because you can't eat with them in, and you must wear them for at least 20 hours a day. I never realized how much I just snacked throughout the day!

    I've read the average person eats about 17 'meals' a day. That would include snacking.

    I generally only eat one or two means a day. I do OMAD a lot. Or one meal and then a protein drink later on. Sometimes a couple of meals.

    Most of the time I wait until about 2 or 3. A few times earlier, like today I ate about 11:30am, then walked an hour a little while later, then had a protein drink and a turkey and Swiss cheese rollup about 5:30. I know many will wait until 4-6 or so so they're not hungry the rest of the night. That's why I try to do it more in the afternoon. I can seem to go pretty long without eating from the time I get up until I do eat. Easier to not eat the first part of the day for me. But it's just what works best for you. It can be any time.

    As far as calories, I imagine 1200-1700 somewhere. I usually am doing low carb when I do that though. I'm not a heavy lifter like you are, so you could probably do 2000-2500. Or whatever it takes to maintain your weight if you're fine with it, or adjusting less if you are trying to lose a little.

    Yes, when I was lifting. Had to have mega calories. Since going into the 60s and riding for main activity I can do with 1200cal daily and will lose 1/3lb daily. But being diabetic I have to plan mealtimes. I eat 3 mains and before bed drink a Muscle Milk. But I can't go more than 4-5 days straight before needing a relax day. That's how I cut weight before the spring season.
