I am having such a hard time spacing my shakes out EXACTLEY the same time (3 hours apart) Am I okay to have one shake and then it go 4 hours before the next?

I think that's a bit too much to space it out. If you can...try 2 - 3 hours at the most. If you wait 4 hours your blood sugar will probably be too low and you'll feel hungry.

I'm sure Nancy or someone will correct me if I'm wrong...but I think you'll make it harder on yourself spacing 4 hours.

If it's because you can't make a shake..how about making the oatmeal into cookies (recipe on this board) so you can have a medifast meal at your desk? Or have your bar for the day.

It's True
Spacing the supplements out toooooo far can result in trouble -- the eating kind. Sometimes you get soooo hungry the old paw reaches for exactly the wrong thing and before you know it -- down it goes.!! Or, you set yourself up for an evening struggle. Try really hard to have those shakes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs apart -- you may stretch it to 3 1/2 but not much farther!!
