    I eat something every few hours.. breakfast, lunch and dinner are the biggest meals, I snack between them if necessary.

    I eat 6 times a day. Not because I think it'll help me lose weight, but because I like to eat as often as I can. :)

    I don't really "meal" I tend to graze a little all day long.

    It keeps me from being hungry.

    I eat 6-8 times a day. None of them are "meals" except maybe dinner. I eat a little something every 2 hours or so starting at 7-8 am and ending at bedtime.

    2 meals and 1 "snack". But all 3 are about 1,000 calories each. My "snack" doesn't involve cooking anything (just bars, fruit, shake, juice, yogurt, cereal etc.)

    At the moment I eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I always keep back approx. 100 cals for snack in the evening if I feel I need it.

    real meals? 2, lunch and dinner

    I have a small breakfast that most wouldnt consider a meal, so I'll call it a morning snack :)

    I also have one afternoon snack plus a preworkout snack

    1 proper one usually. I tend to just snack throughout the day and have a main meal in the evening.
