Don't worry about calories.

Calories aren't created equal, thus it's kind of a stupid measuring unit for animal products if you ask me.

Just eat until full and then stop. There is NO need to over eat. In fact for optimum energy make sure you don't over eat.

This sounds like good advice - but I do find it hard admitedly. Recently I was stupid enough to add back in some dairy products simply to make up for perceived 'energy requirements'. Not a good idea lol - my skin gets slightly inflammed eating it - but I always find myself returning blind to it's negative effects. 

@Tyler - I had an off day today and did a 1 meal intemittent fasting thingy. I had some great concentration levels and was able to do alot of dedicated studying. However I did feel groggy from time to time, looked a little off and had some unusual lower back pain (that went away after eating)

I think I'll try and do this when ever I get a chance, but I'm not to sure if I could keep up over a whole week with more commitments.

@Rawzi - Cheers for the welcome I'm positive that the red spots on the skin is a stress related issue but that's all I've got at the moment heh. In a weird way I'm sort of glad I'm not the only one with this. I'll post a reply if I ever do get to the bottom of it though. 

Thanks for the responses    And I figured out the cause of my indigestion - combining fruit with raw eggs for breakfast. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit stupid now that I think about it, but having been on cooked paleo for a while the general feeling was to always combine fruit with fat for a better insulin response or something along those lines. I guess again the 'do what's right for you, rather than what's right for someone else' holds true here yet again. A trend I'm finding more and more common.

I'm implementing the 2 larger meals a day like you suggested, and it does seem to be doing the trick. I do feel a lot better in my day to day dealings I've gotta say. I'm going continue this for a while and maybe add to it if it's a particularly active day. That being said, is it possible to gain weight long term on this approach? That is my goal to an extent - on top of course just a better feeling of well-being.

And finally, I don't know if anyone here could help me on this issue, but I'll give it a try. I've always have been proned to being stressed and in more recent years have acquired some anxiety problems in certain situations. Eating this way seems to alleviate the problem a lot, I don't know why but I have a strange feeling that there is a connection between the gut and mental functioning. (so in other words, bad digestion -> anxiety, stress, depression etc.) So anyway, in the morning waking up I feel great but gradually as the day go by and certain stress inducing situations pop up I get a reduction in vitality. Interestingly, the first stressful situation of a day is probably the worse, but other potential blips afterwards don't raise nearly the same response. There is still a response mind, but it feels more manageable after the 'rush' of the initial one. And even more weird is that I notice these tiny red dot's appear on my skin (particularly my hands) when in these situations - worse on the first one of the day.
