How often do you eat?

So I'm having a struggle.with myself and getting hungry all the time. So I guess I'm wanting to know how often does everyone eat their meals/snacks? Should I stick to something more often or spread it out?

If i am hungry between meals i snack, its up to you and your body, try drinking water first if your still hungry have a snack, just make sure to log it!

If you starve yourself i think it increases your risk of binge eating. Log everything there are plenty low calorie low carb snacks out there

My struggle lately is I know I'm not drinking enough water. But I do feel hungry in between meals. Sometimes as soon as an hour but I will often just make myself wait till the next meal. Drinking more water will help I'm sure.

It does, i dont snack at all in the morning, wheb i drink the most fluids, i notice as the day goes on and i slow down how much water i drink i start to want to snack more.
I quit drinking pop almost all together and i found that it made a difference too. sweet drinks (even fake sweet) make me want to eat more. Though i do miss those tiny bubbles

Make sure you're getting enough protein with each meal to hold you over!

I follow a low-carb diet, and pretty regimented right now. I have three meals and up to two snacks a day if I want them. Meals are 3oz protein, 1-2 cups non-starchy veggies, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and one additional fat- like 1/2 an avocado or 12 olives or 1 tablespoon olive oil. Snacks each are 1 oz protein, 1 cup veggies, 1 fat serving. The benefit of a low-carb diet is that it suppresses appetite, so I rarely need the snacks.
