    Why would I want to eat like a baby? Should I have an exclusively breast milk diet too?

    You should be eating 5-6 small meals a day . . . basically, you should be on the same eating schedule as a baby. Think about it. . . a baby has an uncorrupted schedule of eating. . . it's only because we force them to wait longer between meals out of convenience that this changes.
    lulz. Babies eat every 2-3 hours because their stomach is the size of a walnut. An adult stomach is the size of a grapefruit.

    Dear people of MFP,

    While it's great that you are staying under your calorie limit, doing so by having two meals that are 700 calories a piece is really doing yourself a disservice!!!! EAT MORE OFTEN! And EAT REAL FOOD! While you might be able to get away with losing weight at first on grilled cheese and PBJ sandwiches, you're going to have to eat real food someday. Take a couple of hours on the weekend and dedicate it to cooking your meals for the week. It really doesn't take that long if you're smart about it. Eat real breakfast! Cereal is not going to hold you very long, and having one egg or one banana is not helping your body either. Breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day (and I'm not talking about an Egg McMuffin either). You should be eating 5-6 small meals a day . . . basically, you should be on the same eating schedule as a baby. Think about it. . . a baby has an uncorrupted schedule of eating. . . it's only because we force them to wait longer between meals out of convenience that this changes. And let's face it . . . being healthy is not exactly convenient, but that's also why it's worth it. :)

    Have a happy and healthy day! And eat the food God created. . not the food man created. :)

    LOL! Please tell me you are trollin'?!
    If not, what makes you think you have the right to tell people what to eat & when to eat?
    I eat whatever the heck I want & I lose weight, I don't need to "eat the food God created & not the food man created" AKA be a vegetarian, to lose weight! I also don't need to eat 5-6 times a day, for some people that's not even possible!
    Just let people fuel THEIR bodies, with what THEY want & stick to fueling YOUR body how YOU want!

    5-6 meals a day? thats old news. all the new science says you should have 76 even smaller meals a day.

    Sorry, but I'm locking this. These topics never go down well and its obvious where its heading from the replies so far.

    What works for one person will never work for all. Its great that what you are doing is working for you, keep doing it, if it stops working re-evaluate.
