First, sorry for bad English...
I am 26 years old and I am vegetarian. I am overweight and I need some advances. So...I wake up about 11am, at 12.30 I eat lunch and than I go to work. I have break at 6pm or 7 pm for eating. I am at home abot 12am or 1am, so I am very hungry. I need someone to tell me how to eat and what to eat, because I can only eat 3 times at day, and because of that when I come home at the morning I am sooo hungry. Can someone tell me how big portions should be?

Re: Need help!
Hi Anya, good to talk to you.
Why is your place of work not permitting breaks, as they should allow another small break within 2-3 hours of the main one and 2-3 hours after the main one, like any decent work place would.
What sort of work is it if you don't mind me asking, as there may be a way of working around this break issue.

Re: Need help!
Problem is that I work only 6 an half hours per day. That's why I have just one break. Problem is that I have to drive about 1hour to work and 1hour back to home. Sometimes we are staying 1 hour or half our more.

So if I get this right, you leave for work about 1PM, you get there for 2PM, you might start a shift at 2:30PM so you're allowing for one or two small delays, you work until 9PM, so then you'd be hone at 10PM, but you say you're home 12AM - 1AM, so if I worked things out correctly, you might leave work at 10PM go to the gym possibly, then be home 12AM - 1AM?

I leave home about 1pm, I start work at 2.45pm...I have break 6pm or 7 pm than I work to 10pm or 23pm...so I come to home about 12am. I'm working in another country 
Ok, now I give all informations for robbery Problem is, that when I come home I am so hungry, that I overeat. It would be very good if you can tell me what should I eat and how much because I'm lost Re: Need help!
Okay, well there are things you can do.
I would suggest you base your calories first of all on one of these three things.
Protein / carbs / fats
33% / 33% / 33%
35% / 30% / 35%
40% / 30% / 30%
Now then I would suggest getting up at around 10PM and then if you go to bed around 1:30 - 2AM, then you're still get 8-8.5 hours sleep.
You could then have something to eat first thing after waking, like a bowl of cereal and some scrambled eggs, or some flax seeds, a low sugar yoghurt and an apple, or some chicken, and cashews as examples. Cashews in that example have more carbs in than most nuts, as do coconuts and chestnuts, but those meal examples are just that, not things you have to set in stone, as you could do something else.
Lunch would be at 12:30PM as per usual, then you could have something at 2:30PM before your work.
There are plenty of options for this like Microwave baked beans, soup and rice dishes, oat granolas, fruits including tomatoes and cucumbers, vegetables including pineapple, celery sticks and raw carrot, bread, sandwiches, low sugar yoghurt, pre-boiled eggs, pork, ham, turkey beef or chicken from a packet, pre-cooked chicken breast, nuts, peanuts and flax seeds and even a packet of crisps, (potato chips), as many of those things now tend to be healthier with less saturates and healthier fats like sun seed added into them.
Some of these options represent whole snacks and some partial snacks which you mix together, but I'm sure you'll work that out for yourself.
You can use some of these options for your 6PM meal and then around 12AM, you could have something fairly simple like the sort of things I suggested for breakfast, or maybe something that's fairly quick and simple to makes like a small portion of stir fry, or some large mushrooms with low fat cheese on them grilled, or beans on toast as examples.
So now you have a loose system to work off that allows you to eat 5 times a day, so this should hopefully help.
