Eating directives from Devon

My own comments are in italics...

Ok, while you are compiling your food journal for me and I am moving, here are the things I want you to do in the meantime (before more in depth recommendations and plans can be made):
1) Read labels. If you are eating something packaged, read the label. If you don't know what it is, don't eat it. Aim to eat mostly whole foods.
easy, ok.

2) Eat breakfast. The fog you are experiencing could be because of what you are eating early in the day. Try something with a fat and a carb.... almond butter on whole grain toast and a banana, an egg white and veggie omelet, etc.
looking in my fridge and cupboard... eggs, bacon, several kinds of nuts, grape nuts + soy

3) Eliminate refined sugar and refined flour. Just say no to white (sugar and flour).
Potatoes too. I have been consciously doing this for a while - but am interpreting this as "take it to the next level". When I see there is corn syrup and sugar in my salami that means I need to find a new salami without the sugars next time I buy any.

4) Eat something every 2-3 hours. You should be having a good breakfast, a mid morning snack (such as trail mix, 1/2 health protein bar-read label!, veggies and hummus), a healthy lunch such as a salad with chicken or tuna or a wrap, an afternoon snack and a light healthy dinner. I would aim to get about 2,000kcals a day, though I have to do more specific needs analysis.
translating this as... Bring a bag full of nuts or fruits/veggies to work every day.

5) Do some sort of exercise everyday and drink lots of water.
Exercise every day?! *feigned whining*. I have been telling people for years that exercise and water are the only two miracle cures in the world.

6) Don't eat the majority of your calories at the end of the day! You should be taking in 500 cals at Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and 250 at each snack. That will definitely help keep your energy and focus stable.
This is hitting the nail on the head for sure.

For now, that will do.... more will be forthcoming.
This is about as much tweaking as I can handle at least till I get used to it. I think I am going to have the most trouble with 5. I wonder if simply doing a pushups pyramid + abs counts as I think I can pretty much make myself do those every day.
