i only eat twice a day- always have practically- small sandwhich for breakfast- ham and cheese- no condiments- throw most of the bread to the birds- and at night maybe a 6 ounce steak, or pork or chicken- sometimes a few vegetables or potatoes- but not often- 185- bee this weight since highschool 30 or so years ago— hardly ever go above or below- I’;m just not a big food lover either- do drink 2 sodas a day though- my ‘breakfast’ is around 11 am- dinner usually at 7- even when i was working hard- doing physical labor- if i ate a breakfast then lunch, i would just feel bloated and not well- and couldn’t work as well- so i quit and stuck to 2 meals a day- probably not doing me a lot of good though-

What you’re doing sounds a lot like “intermittent fasting”, which seems to be developing quite a following.
Hmmm. As your mom might say, eat your veggies.
I eat lots of them, fresh or frozen, tossed in steamer, then served with Trader Joe Soyaki sauce, which I like a lot. Also make a nice omelet a few times a week with avocado slices, tomato slices, white mushroom slices, maybe even some steamed potato slices. Two eggs in ceramic pan. Just yum and cleans up really fast. On alternate mornings, cereal, but nothing too sweet.
The occasional piece of toast but only gluten-free bread. When I stopped eating wheat, my LDL cholesterol went down 40 points in 2 months. I recommend the book, Wheat Belly, by Wm Davis, MD. Your library probably has it.
Another must-read is Grain Brain, by a psychiatrist, David Perlmutter:
