Eat Breakfast like a King...

Some people hold to the adage "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." While this is a good method, not everyone gets up early enough in the morning to make breakfast fit for a king (like me, for instance). Instead of beating yourself up over the fact that you got a bit more sleep and a bit less food or trying to make it up by eating an extra large lunch, add a snack to your day between breakfast and lunch. This will help you from becoming ravenous by lunch time and overeating then. Keep your dinner to a small portion. If you work out in the afternoon or early evening, make sure to either eat a small, healthy snack prior to working out to help you maintain your energy throughout, or shortly after to keep from becoming too hungry before dinner.
