"Basically I skip breakfast, eat a light lunch around 1, and a large protein/veg heavy dinner." Apparently you are my dietary twin. I came to this exact formula accidentally, though, as a result of calorie counting. I skipped breakfast because I could do that most easily. Then I decided lunch would be really light because that gave me the leeway to have a more satisfying dinner and feel completely full once a day. And I didn't want to take the risk of having a light dinner, being hungry, and being unable to get to sleep. I ended up with the mix of protein- and vegetable-heavy dinner because I started reading the nutrition labels of absolutely everything. Then without seeking out a particular type of food, I tried to remember which foods seemed like a good combination of filling and low calorie. And protein and vegetables is what it ended up being. Overall it has worked great. The types and amounts of food I eat feel normal now, and I feel good, and my ability to control my weight has surpassed all expectations.
