When do you eat?

Do you eat because you are hungry or do you eat because it's time? I kind of "graze" all day long and am wondering if I should switch to a more structured meal schedule.

I never eat breakfast. I'm always in a rush on my weekdays because of work, but I need the energy because I work at a nursery, so I just tend to drink a can of sugar free redbull. I know how bad that is, I mean it's not good for my heart, especially it being everyday and also because I'm meant to be trying to gain weight hm.
On my work days I eat for lunch, usually a cucumber and lettuce baguette and a banana or a peach or pineapple slice.
My afternoon snack's a chocolate bar now lol! This week I have had a chocolate bar everyday and I'm really proud of myself for this. My anorexia made eating things like that hard for me, I only ever used to eat fruit and veg lol.
Dinner's usually tuna or a grilled chicken breast, something like that, with boiled carrots.
My bedtime snack is a yoghurt and sometimes even a milky tea yum:)

On my weekends, I'm just grazing throughout the whole day till dinnertime. I eat a normal dinner because I have my little brother and sister at the table too, and for almost a year my little sister was copying my eating habits[I would refuse to eat my dinner, she started doing the same which we were really worried about so I have to make an effort].

I know they say to eat three meals plus two snacks everyday but everyone is different.. we all have different needs, etc. Like I get really dizzy which results in me fainting if I don't eat every so often.
Do what feels right for you and your body.
Hope I helped somehow.
