How many meals?

meshashesha2012

2-3 meals . usually 3 during the weekdays (unless i'm skipping dinner) and 2 on the weekends. i prefer bigger meals and i dont really like snacking.

i have always pooped as many times as i eat which is one reason i've never been a snacker (the other reason is that i find chewing to be annoying so why do it more than i need?). at one point in my life i had to eat 5 meals a day. i spent a lot of time in the bathroom

Two. normal lunch and a huge dinner right before bed.

1-2 meals and 2 snacks. Lunch, snack, dinner, and snack. The idea of food right after I get up just turns my stomach so I usually don't eat until 3-4 hours after that point. If I have a really challenging work out in the morning, I will add a small snack right after like a piece of fruit, some nuts, or a glass of milk. It works for me and I am never hungry this way.

3 - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Snacking just makes me more hungry.
I split my calories evenly between the 3 meals but have not mastered regular timings yet. Because of illness I often do not manage to get up until afternoon so there can be quite small gaps between my 3 meals. It is not unusual with me for it to be Breakfast 1pm, Lunch 4pm, Dinner 8pm. I Sleep sometime after midnight usually. I eat around 500-600 calories at each meal.

I eat three meals with an allowance of 45 carbs and 3 snacks, mid afternoon, evening snack and an additional snack of almonds that I munch on throughout the day. For my snacks I limit to 15 carbs.
I do this because I find that I never get too hungry for any one meal. I try to eat as close to1300 calories that I can.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. I try to eat a good healthy breakfast, a light lunch (salad, protein shake. or tomato sandwich), and make a good dinner but I try to eat before 7pm. I do a lot of bored eating, but I have been trying to make my bored eating healthy. This just seems to work for me.

i eat 5 to 6 small meals per day. i used to bodybuild, and that's how i had the best workouts and recovery. more recently i developed type 2 diabetes, and i discovered that this is the size of meals that increase my blood sugar the least, and about 2.5 hours is when my blood sugar drops back down.

All of them. Some say several small some say other wise - go with what works for you when in doubt.

I eat 2 meals a day, skipping breakfast. Never been a fan, finally decided to just cut it out altogether. On workdays I also have two "snacks" (read: coffee breaks). I eat a small lunch so that I have plenty of calories left for a nice big dinner.

Coffee - 8:30 am
Small lunch - 11 am
Coffee - 3:30 pm
Big Dinner - 6-7 pm

Work for me. Eating more frequently makes me hungry constantly, and there's not a whole lot of things that I am willing to eat, in portion sizes that are acceptable to me, for under 500 calories, which having 3 meals a day necessitates. And that also makes me unhappy and more likely to binge.
