Meal Scheduling

It's always a little interesting to me how much my eating habits depend on a schedule.  If I eat breakfast too early in the morning, then I'm wandering around the office by 10am looking for snacks.  On the other hand if I eat too late, then often times lunch might easily be forgotten.  Today was one of the latter.  I got up late (after 9am), then took the dog to the park.  By the time I got home it was after 10.  Eating breakfast then meant I wasn't shooting to have a lunch time meal.  A long training ride for the bike race and errands all afternoon further delayed the possibility of lunch.  By the time I was finally home and ready to eat, it simply made more sense to have a little snack of peanut butter and wait for dinner time.  Yet on another day I would have been craving even more food by mid-afternoon.  Not really sure there's a point here, other than a lot of my cravings seem to have a lot to do with looking for a distraction rather than actual hunger.

Food today:  egg and cheese with a mountain dew and a multivitamin (257 calories), snack was a bit of peanut butter (100 calories), dinner was fish and chips and another multivitamin (1130 calories). 

Exercise today:  Exercise was an hour and forty five minutes on the bicycle at about 11 mph (1200 calories) with 12,000 steps on the day.
