SHE DOESN’T HAVE FIXED MEAL TIMES BECAUSE OF HER JOB

 Some people don’t have fixed meal times because of their jobs. This means they eat at different times every day. When someone’s work schedule changes or is busy, it is hard to eat meals at the same time.

For example:

  • She usually eats lunch at 1 p.m., but sometimes she eats at 3 p.m.

  • Today, she is eating breakfast late because she woke up late.

Having no fixed meal times can make a person feel hungry at unexpected moments. It’s important to choose healthy snacks and stay flexible.
