LittleD311

Hey Everyone,

I was just curious as to how much and how often you all are eating!? Is there a certain rule/law that we should be following when we are eatingi!?

I always try and eat 3x a day just not as much

I eat 5x a day and it's relatively evenly distributed between 8am - 8pm.

LittleD311

I eat 3 meals a day too, and usually have 2-3 snacks, but I heard that you should eat every 2-3 hours!? Is that true!?

Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full.

ShannonWinger

I eat 5 meals a day between 7:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night.

JennLifts

I've always done every 2-3 hours. Be it a whole bunch of meals, or carrots one snack and dinner the other Keeps the metabolism going.

4-5 always, but today only 3 because they were more caloric than usually (included baked turkey,ops)

Altiv

I eat 4 meals and 3-4 snacks, each one separated by 2-3 hours.

foreverjade

I eat between 6 and 8 times a day, usually every 2 hours. I find I eat a lot less in meals if I am not starving between them.

I'm always hungry...

CCMarie923

I probably snack every 2 hours. My snacks are usually just fruit or veggies. As far as meals go probably 3 times a day.

maggieschuck

I eat 5x a day. I try to make my 2 snack about 100-300 cals and my 3 meals are about 300 cals. Take a peak at other members diary to get meal ideas.

I usually eat three meals and two snacks, separated by 2-3 hours.

I am doing P90X, and following the nutrition plan, so , I"m trying to consume 1800 calories/ day, so I'm trying to just get the hang of it! I dont know why im having such issues with it!

fitoverfifty

I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks.....sometimes the snacks have more calories than the meal :-)

I need my evening snack....usually some yogurt or a slice of bread with peanut butter to keep me from wanting to snack on junk food.

I've been doing this for about 85 days now and have never been hungry, so it's working great for me..

I have lost 22 pounds.

brenda_71

I just make sure I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Usually a haelthy sack in between, but nothing after dinner.

karo224

3 times a day and 2 to 3 snacks....about 3 hours apart

briblue72

I eat breakfast around 6:15, lunch around 10:45, a 300 calorie snack around 3:00, and dinner between 6 and 8.

I'm eating about 1800 calories right now, before exercise, but I'm also 4 months pregnant.

backinthenines

but I heard that you should eat every 2-3 hours!? Is that true!?

well, it works for me.

RockaholicMama

For me it's portion control. I eat 4 very small meals a day, measuring out all my serving sizes. And, I have one snack, usually a fruit of veggie.

kittyinaz

I've been eating 5-6 times per day with 2 -3 hours in between (I try to go 3 at least). I always carry around a portable applesauce with me in case I am out and about and can't get home or forget to bring a cooler with me. It keeps me from driving through somewhere and ruining my calories for the day.

I eat about every 3-4 hours depending.

Breakfast - Pretty big with protein, good carbs, veggies and fruit.
Snack if needed - a few nuts, a piece of fruit or some veggies
Lunch - Same as breakfast but smaller...
Snack - Same as before
Dinner - Whatever someone makes for dinner (I live at home) or if I make it something healthy. But LOTS of veggies and very little carbs.
Snack - Some almonds or a protein shake. I work out at night....

Then of course some coffee once or twice a day.

madamelaporte

I eat 3 times day and sometimes with an afternoon snack
