    I have to eat six times a day. It keeps me on track. I snack all day long. dinner time is trickiest for me.

    I usually snack if I'm hungry. But only if I'm hungry. Otherwise, if I skip a snack and wait until meal time I'm likely to get a headache and feel lousy all day.
    Pregnant women are advised to eat frequent small meals, so that's what I'm doing =)

    I eat snacks everday at work. Keeps me from getting to hungry between meals and then overeating when it comes time to have a meal. But i make my snacks low calorie and healthy. Like today i have sugaer snap pears for my afternoon snack, and i am good until i go home for dinner.

    I try to hold off on snacking during the day. Once I get home from work I do my workout before dinner so that puts my mind on something other than food. Drinking a lot of water throughout the day really helps control the urge to snack. I am certainly not a pro yet (only two weeks in) but that seems to be working for me. This also allows a little more wiggle room at meals for calories.

    Hope that helps.

    Snacks are my worst enemy. They never make me feel full; they always leave me wanting more.

    I eat 1-3 meals per day, depending on how I'm feeling and whether it's a workout day. Never hungry, and I get to have big meals.

    You keep your snacks, I'll keep my 1,800 calorie meals :D

    Snacks. It's a long time between lunch and supper. *crunches on her apple*

    I agree! I cut out my mid-morning snack by adding protein to my breakfast, and now I don't get hungry at 10am anymore. However, there are 8-9 hours between my lunch and my dinner, so I have a snack around 5.

    It's really a preference...whatever works for YOU to keep you on track. Personally I usually snack a little between meals...busier days, maybe not...but helps my blood sugar and mood :o)
    Exactly!
