    It just goes to show you that everyone is different! I guess we just have to find what works for us as individuals and not fall into all the scientific mumbo jumbo! :smiley:

    I have been working on relearning and eating according to my hunger cues.

    That being said, I eat when hungry and the amount I eat depends upon how hungry I am. I also am not able to eat a lot of food at one time. So my meals tend to be small and sometimes my snacks are large. It's almost impossible to even differentiate between what is a meal or a snack.

    All I know for sure is that how I am eating is working for me.

    I have to eat at least 5 times a day, otherwise I feel very sluggish between meals. I don't believe it affects my weight loss at all as long as all my snacks and meals stay within my calorie deficit.

    Just had to come here to say, after seeing the title of this thread about a million times today, I constantly see it as Snicker. And now I want a Snicker.

    Edit. If I want the Snicker, I make it fit in my calories, just like I already do with a daily treat or two.
