How many times do YOU eat a day?

3 meals and 3 snacks. But my snacks are usually cut up fruits and vegetables or grapes, so it feels like I'm actually eating all day long.

I eat 3 meals and anywhere from 2-4 snacks depending on my calories. It sounds like you are eating a lot of fruit, which is good, but add some protein. Apple and cheddar cheese, grapes and cottage cheese, blueberries and greek yogurt, etc. Here's what I eat on average:

Breakfast: 4-6oz greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fruit, 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts and cinnamon or apple pie spice
Snack: apple with PB
Lunch: Large salad with 1/2 cup beans, cucumbers, bell pepper, tomato and mixed greens and 1 Tbsp dressing
Snack: almond thin crackers and hummus
Post workout snack: 1 cup soymilk, 1 banana, and either 1 Tbsp PB or more fruit, such as blueberries
Dinner: 3-5oz meat and a vegetable

Also, how many calories are you eating? Are you exercising and eating enough so you're not in too much of a calorie deficit?

Breakfast: usually 7am
Morning snack: 9-930am (usually nuts or pepperoni and string cheese)
lunch: 1130am-12pm
Afternoon snack: 1-130pm (usually apple and a skinny cow snack)
Dinner: 430-5pm
Dessert: 630-7pm (usually a vitatop or a smart ones dessert)

We have to eat dinner early as my son and hubby eat lunch wayyyy early at school and work (10ish am) so they're starving by 4-430 lol.

ETA: Lately though, my breakfast has been enough to get me thru until lunch so some days I don't have a morning snack

Anything i put into my mouth I always log, even if it means that it shows me going over in my calories (which is rare). I normally eat high calorie/high protein, low sodium during breakfast. Example: 100cal English Muffin w/ 1 egg, and maybe 1/2cup rice if I'm feeling extremely hungry.

I try to eat every 3 hours even if I am not hungry and I am losing really slow as well. WHen I went to the Dr on Friday, they actually had me weighing 2 pounds less by there scale. Im just going to stick with what my scale says since its a different scale.

Ususally 5-6 times (3 meals and 2-3 snacks) ...I always try to have a large breakfast and make sure I have protein in every meal and every snack. I'm really liking strawberries and blueberries lately. I love eating the blueberries in my plain greek yogurt with a little granola cereal sprinkled on it as a snack or strawberries with a tbsp of natural peanut butter and some Lite Silk Vanilla Soy Milk. My other favorites are 1/2 apple with natural peanut butter spread on it, a 1/2 sandwich twin roll with peanut butter and 1/2 banan or reduced fat triscuits with low fat cheddar cheese and a few white seedless grapes. These are just a few snacks that carry me thru til my next meal (normally around 150 cals) ...as you can tell I love peanut butter:laugh:
