calories are calories?

[kellyodoran 12]

I guess 'feasible' is individual to everyone. Some days I forget to eat until dinner time, but I am really unable to eat all my calories in one meal. So now and again I eat slightly under my calories (which are between 800-900). But I don't do that often, primarily because I get a little tired and I'm unable to workout to my maximum potential because I don't have anything in me.

When I was in grad school (and then working from 9am-9pm) I just carried little Snacks with me. Slim fast bars, Protein bars, sometimes I would just stop at a store (like WaWa) and get a hardboiled egg or some tuna salad. You can always pack a lunch for yourself in the morning in a hot/cold lunchbox and bring something from home.

thank you!

Of course I'm asking a hypothetical question, I plan on going back to school, and will be there for 8 hours a day, what I'm wondering is (I don't really have restriction now) is if this would be feasible? It is just a question going through my mind as to how will I eat with 8 hours of class?

Kelly,

Not sure how going to school for 8 hours is different than working an 8 hour a day job. One assumes there will be breaks in there somewhere. The only concession you might have to make is to carry a small insulated lunch bag around with you. My husband takes one of those to work and leaves it on his desk. You can take cheese and crackers, hard boiled eggs, salad...any number of things that would keep you eating on plan.

Calories are not just calories for me but then I'm an insulin resistant diabetic so a day's worth of carbs at one meal would put me into carb overload.
