eating schedule and family

[kariev]

I wanted to know how your family impacts your eating schedule. I know many of you eat every 3 hrs. I know my fiance' and family do not so how do you work your eating around them? Are they sometimes annoyed with how you plan everything or have to eat at certain times?

I eat 5-6 times a day and usually it has absolutely not impact on others.

The only time it is ever really an issue is when I am out shopping with my mom. We can shop for a long time and my mom isn't going to want to stop to eat every few hours. I just throw a snack or 2 in my purse I'm good to go. We will usually stop for the appropriate meal and then if I need to eat before or after that, I just grab what's in my purse.

The harder part for me is making a dinner that everyone will enjoy. I usually aim for a healthy protein and veggie that I will eat. The starch tends to be "unclean" so I will either NOT eat it or just have a "taste" and load up on the protein/veggie instead.

Do you plan your menus out before you go shopping? This is where I think my disconnect is. My hubby and kid are junk food junkies. I have tried multiple times to incorporate a more healthy menu in our life, but I get over run on this alot, and then end up following the leader.

I am lucky, DH pretty much does his own thing and I do mine. I used to try to eat with him and like him. Boy oh boy that didn't work lol!!! I gained 20 pounds So I have learned. It would be more difficult if I had to work around others.
