I try to eat several small meals 6X a day. Knowing this in advance
means I never feel starved knowing my next meal is only a couple of
hours away. I also don't eat if it isn't my scheduled meal. Basically,
I have my entire eating day planned out, and since I eat pretty much
the same things everyday, there is not a lot of thought or time
involved in planning (anymore), but there certainly was in decided
what foods initially to include. Like people who wear uniforms each
day, or go to school or work at the same time, you don't even have to
think about it, since you always do the same thing as the same time.
Exercise should probably be another routine thing. In fact, if you
don't make it part of your routine, but do it on a hit or miss
schedule, it tends to just get left out. Eating 6 smaller meals a day
might also help because you tend to get less ravenous and control your
blood sugar better, with less of a crash after the meals. There is
also the classic animal study where mice that were fed the same
amounts of food, but some gorged once a day and others were feed their
quota in several small meals, resulted in the gorgers putting on
weight. I don't know if it works that way for humans, but it might.
