    I eat about 5-6 times a day in 2 -3 hour increments. I'm on my feet most of the day for my job so if I don't eat throughout the day I feel like dying.

    6 times or so. Sometimes I just kind of graze throughout the day, sometimes I combine my snacks so I have more distinct "meals."

    I only eat when hungry. I've felt no ill effects from going a day without eating. But I always drink plenty of water.

    I eat about 5-6 times a day. Usually my snacks (2xday) are a piece of fruit or string cheese, popcorn, yogurt...stuff like that. Meals: oatmeal or toast for breakfast, fish/chicken and veggies for lunch, and fish/chicken and veggies for dinner. I used to be one of those people who couldn't understand how people go under their calorie goal but by eating mainly fresh food with emphasis on fruits and veggies, I have difficulty too.

    Uhh.. not sure how to answer this because I kind of eat all day long. All of my "meals" tend to run together. I'll just go with, I eat all day long.

    It varies for me. Some days I eat only once, sometimes as many as 4 times a day.

    I'm a snacker. 6-7 is typical. Breakfast at 6 or 7, workout, post-workout food around 9, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, 8pm snack. As long as I'm within my cals/macros, I feel alright with it!
