Willbthin-

I used to have the same trouble the first time I did CAD. I waited until 4:00 p.m. for my RM. By 4:00 I was slightly crazed and "driven", all I could think about was the approaching RM. When I started the second time, I said...wait a minute, why don't I eat my RM earlier in the day. Now I eat my RM at noon and don't feel at all driven anymore. I can now have a sensible and enjoyable time. And to think, it was just a 4 hour timing problem! My schedule is, I have coffee for breakfast, my RM at noon, Dinner at 6 or 7 pm. Sometimes I have an egg or a piece of cheese later that evening. It seems to work for me, maybe this would solve your problems as well.

I know what you mean by being limited during your CM meals. Get the "Cheat Sheet", sit down and be creative. At least we can have good variety once a day!

Good Luck!
