American Energy Works: Bob
ConocoPhillips’ Bob Morton is chief materials scientist at the company’s technology center in Bartlesville, Okla. The chemical that allowed development of low-sulfur gasoline and diesel – without sacrificing octane and without increasing the cost of the fuel – was developed there, he says.
Coming up with environmentally friendly consumer products is Morton’s mission:
“What I really love about my job is sometimes I’m given the opportunity to see something that nobody has seen before. And when those moments happen truly, those are the things that I think are the most wonderful parts of doing the job.”

American Energy Works: Chris
Chris’ story is one of opportunity – extended and accepted. The oil and natural gas company he works for as a liquid mud coordinator saw work ethic and rewarded it:
“My training is not in energy, engineering or science, but because I was willing to learn, was willing to work, they took me from having no skills to being someone who they’re not afraid to have train the new employees – people who are the future of this company.”
Chris is one of 9.2 million Americans working a job supported by the oil and natural gas industry. Check out his video:

American Energy Works: Driving Economic Growth
Energy-driven economic growth is more than theory in places like Mount Vernon, Ohio, and Chandlersville, about 60 miles to the southeast. Shale energy is building growth in both places – in different ways.
In Mount Vernon, Ariel Corporation is experiencing demand for the reciprocating gas compressors it manufactures, which are used to extract, process, transport, store and distribute natural gas from shale. In Chandlersville, Steve Addis and his wife own and operate Annie’s Restaurant, which is seeing an influx of workers who’re drilling new shale gas wells in the area. Both show how the oil and natural gas industry supports jobs beyond direct industry jobs.

What works for you? Small meals/Snacks or 3 square meals a day?
Lately I have learned something.
Multiple mini meals throughout the day-does not work for me.
Multiple small snacks trhoughout the day-does not work for me.
Eventually this just a chance for me to overeat. I tried for the longest time to eat like this, because so many other people do and said it was the best way.
The best way to do something for one person might not be the best way to do it for another.
I was reading Lyn blog post about it had they lost weight regain and my heart aches for her. I did that once before and the weight regain is awful. It hurts. It is so much harder than you think. I know that they can get back to a good place and I'm totally cheering for her. What really got me on this post was a lot of the comments that asked her to stop snacking, especially this one:
"then you please stop snacking? I know in the past few years, it is always touted as the "answer" never to feel hunger, blood sugar, blah blah blah, but I'm much older, and believe me, back in the day three square meals a day was enough. I think only snacking is the way to put on weight even if you're perfectly at each meal. I'm not perfect, but I can say that I was much better when I'm not chewing and sipping all day long. I'm not sure when it happened, but no one can go without a big drink and something to munch on. In the 1950s, 60s, 70s you never saw this and almost everyone was smart ... “
In my own situation I'm realizing that this is true. I do much better when I stick to three meals per day instead of trying to break it down in mini meals or have lots of snacks.
Definitely snacking is fun, but it's also a chance for me to constantly think about foods that I do not need anything in my life. I find that half the time I don't really feel I'm physically hungry I eat either "must" at certain times to keep my blood sugar or energy levels well. When I'm snacking or eating small meals I'm thinking about food more, spend more time on it, and in the end consume more of it.
I do that with three meals per day. It is easier to plan that and then just let it when needed. I spend less time and thought centered around food and I eat less. I'm much more satisfied after a meal, and that feeling lasts a long time. After counting calories do both ways I've learned that 3 meals per day works much better for me than the small calorie meals/snacks wisely route.
I am on the mini meals and meals with snacks ideas. They work just isn't for me as they do for other people. Snacking is not useful. Lately I've been sticking with 3 meals per day (and maybe a night time protein shake sometimes) and it is slowly working.
That's what works for me. What works for you? 3 large meals? Many small meals? Meals and snacks? How do you eat?
