Yeah the consistency seems to be key for me too. Working from
   home, I sleep from 5am-9am, then from around 4pm-7pm - I like
   getting two days out of one [I have fascinating dreams so I get
   two great ones per day tongue emoticon ] It started
   experimenting with "least sleep possible" about 2.5 yrs ago and
   then let myself fall into a pattern within a few days and stuck
   with it. The circle's definitely the best. Sometimes I prepare
   it, sometimes it's prepared for me. But I don't have a problem
   with boxed foods either; my main focus is: protein : carb : fat
   ratio I don't go nuts with it numerically but more of a "sense".
   For example, when I see chocolate, I see a stick of butter
   flavored with cocoa and sugar. I'll eat the chocolate but I'm
   aware of what it really is. Same with cheese. Love cheese. But I
   know it's basically butter with a little protein. Good protein
   but I'm aware of what it mostly is. Peanut butter? It's liquid
   butter with some good protein. I still eat it - and I know
   what's good and not-so-good fat, so I try to balance one with
   the other. = Extra sharp cheddar. Feta. Blue Sharp cheeses all
   the way for me. I won't turn down a Reese's - favorite. But
   given a choice, I go with the darkest chocolate i can find. I
   like the bitter stuff. ==
