In the morning, I have a cup of mixed caffeine and decafe coffee so I can take all my vitamins with a slice of pound cake, a banana and an English muffin with avocado toasted lightly. Then I try not to eat anything during the day. But, i I get real hungry, I will eat an apple with some Oaxaca cheese. Maybe some blueberries with yogurt. It holds me over until I make some dinner. I'm afraid to eat too much. Never know what my stomach will do each day. Seems to work so far. But, never know when I will be surprised.
