It is 2:45 in the after noon and my 3rd meal of the day is coming up. I had my first a little before 8, my second before noon ( a little late I know), and my third is coming up. Do I continue on and have my 6th meal late at night? I get up about 6 am and start getting my kids off to school. By the time I have everyone off to where they are suppose to be it is almost 8. Sometimes I can squeeze in my breakfast during this time, but most of the time I don't get it until they are all off to school ( love old fashioned Oatmeal!). Should I start with something small like a protein bar or smoothie as my first meal and get it in earlier?
Moms of school age children, how do you work the first meal into your day?
