When would you eat. Help please

[Thund3rMumma]

Hi guys so I'm after help please. My eating has always been rubbish and I blame a lot of it on work but I'm trying to be better. So I do 5 days a week 12.30-8.30 when would you eat your meals?

My day.
7am wake up and get children ready for school
11am I get ready for work and leave at 12pm
I get a half hour break which I take sometime between 4&5pm
8.30ish I finish work at home just before 9pm
How would you eat your meals around this schedule.

Thanks for any help

Early breakfast when waking/with kids.
Snack 11:30 ish before leaving.
Main meal between 4-5
toast & cup of tea when I get in if still hungry.

I'd have a large breakfast ( you have time in the morning).

A snack before work.
Something like a sandwich at work or left overs from last night's tea.
Cereal when home

Late breakfast, snack at work and dinner when you get home

I have to eat early so I would do -
Bfast 7am
Lunch 1130am
Tea 4/5pm
Snack 9pm

I’d have a late breakfast before work, a late lunch/snack during your break and an evening meal when you get home

I would have a filling brunch type thing at around 11, including plenty of protein. Maybe a wrap or bagel at your half hour break? And dinner when I get home

Do you have to cook when you get home at 9pm or is someone making dinner for themselves and kids that a portion could be kept for you?

I’d probably have a largish late breakfast/early lunch around 11.30, a snack at 4ish and then dinner when I got home. That might change though if I had to cook from scratch every night or if I was just microwaving something made earlier.

I'd have fried eggs on toast and a brew at 10.30, take a sandwich and fruit for 4.30/5pm, then have some soup or porridge when I got home.

This is tough, because it would be so easy to just eat snacky things the whole time.
I would have to have something substantial at 4-4.30, perhaps you could make batches at the weekend? Or take some of whatever your delivery have for tea the day before?

I'd have a smoothie first thing.

The night before is prep a quick pasta salad. That way you are getting the right carbs, and toss in down chicken/tuna for protein. I'd have that around 11:30 so on the go whilst you're getting ready to leave.

I'd then have dinner around 4-5pm

When you're home, I'd have some fruit or snack and then bed!

I would do this too.

I don't like eating reheated dinners when I get in as it tends to taste different. I tend to be really picky with what I eat and don't like reheating anything

This is what I tend to do but saw PIL last week and all they did is moan and ask what I eat (had to go hospital the week prior) saying that first problem is not eating breakfast or 3 meals a day and that I snack a lot

What are good snacks to have before or even after work? I'm so used to just snacking on a piece of fruit or a bag of crisp or even a bag of sweets throughout my work day that I don't even know what would be good
