How much do you eat on a work day ?

First time I eat is late morning, and usually it's either porridge or hummus and eggs.
I work a desk job 4 days a week, but eat breakfast at the desk and go for my 'lunch break' after eating.
Then I have supper around 7/8 pm, and it varies. The air fryer is oft used, and I consume a lot of chips.

You missed off dinner or you don't eat dinner at 545 and just weirdly split it.

You could eat 1000 calories at dinner and be fine
 
Unless your dinner is massive you eat less than me at 5'7 83kg with a desk job and I'm loosing weight.
 
Breakfast - Almond milk porridge with frozen summer fruits and some tea ~400kcal

Lunch - Chicken breast, rice and broccoli (with a bunch of whatever weird hot sauce is in the work fridge), protein yoghurt, apple and orange ~600kcal

Dinner will depend on whether I’m attempting to be under 90kg in a serious fashion. Jacket potato with tuna, curry and rice, chilli and rice. That sort of thing. Aim for 800kcal.

In reality on a busier day like today I’ve had a second protein yoghurt and a mince pie to go with my mid morning coffee. I’ll be on my feet for the next 2 hours and can’t afford to be hungry for the next case.

I also think I’m fattening up for Christmas. I’m struggling to stick to my 1800-2000kcal fighting weight goal. On a busier day, especially if I’ve done exercise I can probably get away with up to 3000kcal. Just can’t get away with it every day! I probably need to take a protein yoghurt / shake as a snack on “hungry days”.

Last night it was chick pea and soya mince concoption with loads of veg no big calories, I don't see how I keep my weight sometimes, wine is only 2 bottles at the weekend, maybe 800 grams of nuts ( 1 big pack 400g 2x 200 g BBQ nut s for my walks)

When I did work, breakfast was nothing except coffee. Lunch was either a home made or bought sandwich or soup and a roll.
 
Well finished the humus wraps , I try to save one until my next break at 1pm.but fail , just a flask of tea now
 
OK now i do feel like going to get some chocolate and crisps.


No wonder it feels like the inside of my guts are on the way out
