I'm a big bloke ( 6ft.5) and when I became a postie in August I had 15 stone... yesterday I had 12.7 . I eat first thing in the morning before I go to work...at around 9ish I'm in the DO's canteen having a full English...at about 12:30 having my meal relief (2 big sandwiches + nuts and crisps) and on the way to my last loops I'll have another 2 ...3 snickers bars or whatever have with me that day. Finish work...a proper meal...at about 8 o'clock in the evenings another meal....and I'm still loosing weight . What you guys eat to maintain your weight? All the best

From what I've seen of others, you generally lose weight in the first 3 months before your metabolism adjusts. You might then plateau for a little. tbh, around about now I would expect you to start gaining weight again. Pretty standard in this business from what I've seen.

As for food, in this job you literally are what you eat. Others will add their thoughts, I tend to think pasta in the evening usually helps the following day.

I'm the same. Very rarely I have breakfast. But 90% of the time I don't eat till I get home. But if I do have a breakfast I get more hungry in the day.

I remember a security guard at a firm I used to collect from saying he'd never seen a fat postie.
There are quite a number in the mcs though.

Same. I simply don't understand how people throw chocolate, chrisps, sandwhiches ect ect at 8 or 9 in the morning like they do at our office. I'd be sick I think! There's something about breakfast starting your metabalism I think?

You can eat a hell of a lot when working as a postie's , but when you retire watch out otherwise you will turn into a 16 stone bloater like me !

Breakfast...Fried, salted and peppered Chestnut mushrooms and tomatoes with two eggs, served on wholemeal wrap with cottage cheese with Tabasco chipotle or salmon/ avocado on toasted rye bread spread with cottage cheese (for salmon) or marmite (for avocado).

Lunch ...three or four chicken breasts in wraps with picallii or roast beef in wrap with horseradish.

Then the wife's cooking for dinner ...

Followed by supper of prawns in wrap or cream of asparagus soup or chicken and rice.

Result? I'm built like a finely honed whippit

Three or four whole breasts? Full chicken fillets? That's a whole lot!
