Voodoo, Squish, calories

Started a new VoodooPad vdoc today for work, and it’s already filling up. :)
Taking Squish to the vet this coming Monday (2005-02-21) morning for her follow-up appointment. I hope we can get her some regular pain-mgmt help now that she’s been on the antibiotics.
On the calorie front, I want to sketch out some thoughts on cals/hour during the day, to see what’s reasonable.
OK for simplicity’s sake, I’m going to assume 2000 cals/day.
24 hours - 8 for sleep = 16 hours.
2000 cals/16 hrs = 125 cals/hour = 250 cals every 2 hours.
Two 8-hour blocks, 1000 cals/each. So If we start hour #1 at 7 am, from 7a-3p is 1000 cals, then from 3p-11p is 1000 cals. Or to break it down a different way, by the time I get off work at 4, I should have had 1250 calories. That sounds about right.
The reason this came up was my problem of sometimes wolfing down my entire workday’s food before noon, leaving me another 4 hours to get through before any food. Not bueno. But if I have ~250 cals before getting to work, then another 125/hour or 250/2 hours after, that should be sufficient.
