Not sure…. to me, it seems that your intake is in reverse of what it should be. Eating more calories and carbs especially earlier in the day will be more effective than eating them later, as there will be more opportunity to burn them off.
Why not try a more hearty breakfast (egg whites, steel cut oats, etc.), a small mid-morning snack (I’m partial to hummus & veggies), a substantial lunch (salad with protein and broth-based soup, fruit), an afternoon snack, and keep dinner more focused on lean protein and veggies rather than “Indian or Mexican”. Both of those cuisines tend to have high amounts of sodium, carbs, and fat, particularly if ordering out.
Just a thought…..
