    My daily goal 1528 and I eat 3 big meals and between 2-3 snacks... and sometimes my snacks are huge especially afternoon one because thats when i eat most of my calories.

    Well 6 of those meals are more or less snacks. just a snack to get you to the 3 main meals. you also are allowed to credit your calories burned in exercise for additional calories allowed. I ran today for 1 hr. and thatcredited me with 550 calories burned, so I could deduct that from my calories consumed. I don't because they allow me 1750 calories here and I only consume about 1200 to 1600. I want to lose an additional 20 lbs.

    Let me know how you do!!

    I've been researching weightloss tips and advice on the internet, and keep hearing that I need to eat 6 meals a day to keep my metabolism working all day, and maxmize my weightloss. According the MFP, I'm supposed to eat 1500 calories/day to meet my weightloss goal. Basically that means each one of my meals should be about 250 calories. That's more like a snack, not a meal, if you ask me. So my questions is, how do I eat 6 meals and stay under 1500 calories? How are you folks doing this?

    You don't.. Simple as that. It's not needed.
