big bowl of porridge and 4 hard boiled eggs, snack on dry roasted peanuts until lunch time

I have admiration for those with time to do this. If I am in at 5, I wonât drag myself up till 4.30am. Wash, teeth, dressed and brew in the car on the way down!!
When I was younger Iâd be due to start work at say 6am, and Iâd still be in bed at 05:55, a move usually instigated by my mother dragging me out of bed. Otherwise Iâd never go.
Theses days Iâm more paced allowing time for putting up a lunchbox, having breakfast and if reqâd also tending or lighting a coal fire (anyone remember those?) brushing my teeth etc, prior to going out the door at 4:30am for the 10min drive to the yard. Or earlier if Iâm going to a yard further away. This allows for possible delays inc clearing the car of snow and ice & not forgetting the âget to the front door and find youâve forgotten something, or that last gulp of hot tea has started to work its magic and youâve gotta leg it to the bathroom for a dump ASAP, as no doubt Iâd never make it to the yard before its too lateâ moments
Mug of Green Tea, bowl of porridge, slice of toast if at home. In cab, Mug of Green tea, Bowl of porridge. 
After all that I still cannot lose any weight.
I go for porrige with some sultanas in it ,cook in the microwave as there is less washing up that way.
mashed banana under shreddies and milk in the truck, or two toast with beans and two poached eggs.(not Heinz beans too much sugar in)

Just a question to you all out there what with early starts etc .with this being the so called time for losing weight,i being one of those ,what best than to ask other truckers on there breakfast habits to get tips . I m up at 03.20 ,do you eat before you start your shift or a little later etc.
Iâm not being in any way funny with you or glib. But you want to lose weight, youâre looking for the best time to do it and the best time to eat ? The only way to lose weight is to eat less, NOT think whens best to eat. If i was up and out at 03.20 i wouldnât give food a thought until maybe 10/11/12âŚbut of course i smoke and i know thats an appetite supressant. And just like i know what to do to abstain from smoking i.e give it up, to lose weight youâll just have to eat less. Thats the reality, aything else is kidding yourself. Just eat less.
I only eat breakfast when Iâm hungry,usually 1 slice of bovril on toast or oats with cold milk. Iâm trying to get into the green tea! Iâve tried a cup with a little sugar but wasnât to keen, is it better to have a regular brew after? Or does this just undo the goodness?

You really need Brown sugar and cream to feel to full effects and gain any benefit from it.
It doesnt matter what time you eat, especially if your an early bird or a night worker. It all about keeping a regular pattern of eating, and eating the right stuff. You could eat breakfast at 3am, lunch at 9am, and have an evening meal at 3=4pm & be in bed by 7=8pm. Its all about portion control & balancing the intake times of breakfast, lunch & dinner to suit your shift pattern. Eating an early bird breakfast and finishing off with night owl supper isnt going to help you loose weight. Eating less bread & carbs could help you to loose weight, likewise drinking less alcohol (beer etc) cutting out the takeaways & fried breakfasts. But there is a point where the individual is reluctant to give up certain things and their weight loss will plateau. A mate of mine stopped eating bread, pasta and potatoes after he developed type 2 diabetes, but ate huge amounts of meat (grilled bacon etc) and dropped 2 stone in 6 weeks.
Compare the size of the hole you put food in to the size of the one that it comes out of when youâre done with it.
This is the problem, the entry is far bigger than the exit.

Or as his holiness Chubby Brown put it⌠" no wonder your a fat feker, your gob is 3 times the size of you arse hole"
I knew it was one of the comedians, couldnât remember which one.
Many a true word spoken in jest though.
Im partial to a nice early morning muffin myself⌠
