Sometimes when I'm doing multiple hour stretches of working from home, it's really hard for me to prepare meals for myself and sit down and eat. If I know I have to work to do, it's just really hard to justify taking that much time out. Lately I find myself snacking fairly scatteredly, and I think I actually feel better and eat more food that I enjoy this way. Today for example, I have had no solid meals, but feel great. What I did have was:
A mixed berry/blood orange smoothie with chocolate almond milk.
The other half of that blood orange
A couple of scattered Trader Joe's not-sausage patties
A sweet pepper
A tiny piece of bread with hummus
I know I will need to actually arrange something more full and satisfying in an hour or so; for now though I think this is pretty good, but it's certainly nothing that would ever be put together as a meal. It's a lot of pure food (with one notable exception), and a lot of nutrients.
Thoughts on snacking versus meals? Please share.
