Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I noticed from the 'what did you eat today thread' that it seems like no one eats three meals a day any more.
I know as for myself it's usually two, once when I wake up and again a few hours before I "plan" to sleep.
When I do eat three it's usually because I'm forced too, by staying at some ones house who does, or when my kids come over and I have to cook for them. Also I feel full most of the day any how because I eat high protein breakfast. I need protein or I feel hungry all the time and over eat.
But I see that quite a few people try to be healthy, I don't even try. And I use to be the coffee and cigarettes as a meal kind of person, but I quit cigarettes and I can't have coffee any more!
I don't miss the cigarettes but I miss the coffee. :(
So how many meals do you eat?
And do you try to be healthy or do just use the seafood diet? See food and I eat it!

So I keep my energy up but don't necessarily fill up a great deal.
Not really. I do graze most of the day. It's hard to get all those fruits and veggies in.
I have a large apple = 2 servings for breakfast
A salad with mixed veg for lunch = 2 servings
For dinner - 2 servings of veg
Snack - fruit with cottage cheese
During the week I eat better. I have a fried egg sandwich around 9am every morning. Something for lunch around 1. Usually leftovers from dinner, a salad or I buy frozen vegies and will eat those.
Dinner I eat the protein and vegies, I don't eat carby sides.
snacks are usually string cheese, cheese or jerky.
