Where do I/should I eat my Calories?

We has Kiwi's operate quite nicely of at least one big meal a day. We can have a Kiwi Breakfast or a Massive Dinner. This is quite normal for us.

The problem for me is that I need to be aiming for about 500 calories per meal.

If I have fried eggs on toast (with cheese) for breakfast and then a pasta meal for lunch, I've eaten about 1100 to 1200 calories.

Adding a dinner of about 600 to 800 calories and I'm already at 2000. That's the number that I want to stay below, aiming for 1800 (I think I said)

So I believe I need to choose between fired eggs or a pasta meal - not both.

If I have wholemeal oats for breakfast I'm eating 300 calories, plus a pasta meal I'd be at 760 calories. Already that is looking much better.

If I add in my snacks of fruit and popcorn I could be at 1000 - 1200 Calories by dinner and eating somewhere between 1600 to 2000 a day.

Now that's my aim.

Let me spell this out (for my benefit) - Average Eating Day

Breakfast = Wholemeal Oats (300 - 400 Calories)

Lunch = Pre-made meal (up to 600 Calories)

Snacks = Average about 200 Calories of snacks a day

Dinner = whatever we are cooking (I allow up to 800 calories - some days will be much less)

So if I eat the max amount of Calories above I will eat 2000 Calories.

At 2000 I am still loosing weight (so long as their good calories which I will get into later)
