Spencer, in response to your question yesterday:

. I eat clean for about 3-4 meals and then my meals 5 and 6 seem to be to large in portions or not as healthy as it should be. Anyone else having this challenge?

YES! I too have the same problem in the late day. I tend to have carb cravings, particularly when I watch late night TV. The two seem to be connected in my brain. It get particularly bad if I add alcohol to the mix. Lately, I've been able to keep it pretty much under control by drinking a low carb shake when I watch TV (better if I just don't watch TV!). But every once in a while the carb beast comes out.

One solution I adopted long ago is to make my 5th meal (our family meal) intentionally larger than the others and compensate with a smaller 6th meal. That seems to help some.
