How many meals? What times? Any snacks? What time do you exercise?

lustrebass

Walk 30 minutes first thing out of bed.
Breakfast (cereal, coffee) at 7:30am
Morning snack around 10:30
Lunch around 12:30 or 1:00
Sometimes lunchtime walk of 20 minutes
Afternoon Snack around 3:00
sometimes another small snack around 5:00pm
Dinner 6:30pm
Exercise with Wii Fit 3 nights per week after 8:00pm

This has been my routine for 3 weeks as of today. I have lost 8 lb in those three weeks, by keeping to roughly 1400 net calories and following the above routine.

photojunkie28

5-7 meals. typically 6.

7:00, 10:00,1:00, 4:00, 7:00, 10:00 are roughly the times.

I exercise at 5:30 a.m. 3 days a week and around 7 pm 1-2 days a week.

snacks are incorporated into my meal times (such as fruit or fiber bars) and I try to make sure I have nothing inbetween. If i can't make it 3 hours between meals then I probably did something wrong with my last meal. i.e. didn't get 20-30g protein a healthy fat and complex carb.

On days that I get it all correct I dont feel like i'm on a calorie cut

I shoot for every 3 hours

jentarver

... when I am hungry.... But mainly the 3 meals a day with snacks in between.

ljc73

I eat 5 meals a day. I workout after breakfast (between 8a - 10a) and then my post-workout meal is typically my biggest of the day.

brttnyhrrll

same, about every 3 hours. i have a protein shake right after my workout.
i really eat when i'm hungry & stop when i'm full.

juliekaiser1988

I eat six times a day. Easy...

suaku

I eat before and after workouts (more carbs before, more protein after), and the rest of the day, I eat when I'm hungry. And I probably eat most of my calories late in the day, but haven't had any trouble losing weight.

catpow2

Every 3-4 hours. Workout first thing in the morning or early evening (cardio 1-2 times a week and weight training 2-3 times--different days). Follow weight training with a protein shake and then a meal with a good balance of protein, fat and carbs an hour or so later.

myfitnessval

i eat about 4 meals a day. on days i work my eating schedule is pretty set. eat a protein bar on the way in, yogurt on my first 10, a turkey sando and hummus for lunch, if i have a last 10 its usually some nuts or a protein shake because i work out before dinner, then dinner, and if i have the cals i'll usually round up the day with a treat like a mini ice cream or piece of chocolate. days i dont work are kind of a mess. i try to fit 3 meals in and a snack but sometimes it ends up just being 3 meals since i tend to sleep in super late lol

AZKristi

cersela

6 times a day, 3 200-400 calorie meals with 100-200 calories snacks in between. I prefer to exercise in the morning so I have a better idea how to eat for the day, but I usually can't make it to the gym until 7 or 8pm. I prefer to eat mini-meals because I can't eat tons at once. I noticed I tend to get hungry at 10am and 3pm so I try to have a snack planned for around then, and I usually have another in the evening.

seed_of_wonder

wake up around 8, do work around the house and then eat breakfast around 11.
i eat around 200-250 calories every two hours or so

DeTaart

Eat at 9am, 1pm, 5pm and 9pm. Sticking to a schedule has been an eye opener for me in weight loss terms, it has really worked.

Restybaby2012

Im usually up about 2am. so my day starts a tad earlier that most of you.

I start every day with a latte cup of coffee and a lil cream, and a small glass of either tomato juice or grapefruit juice. NO food

About 630 is what I consider a mach breakfast and there begins my foody day
Every hour or two I snack on something. Cheese stick / Sausage stick, popcorn, PICKLES!!!(I eat pickles throughout the morning) Maybe a rice cake, an apple, a piece of meat from supper the night before, cucumber slices.
By 1030 my "eat time" has ended until....
...... about 415 when Im home and my fiance' has a salad made for me.
We usually have our evening meal about 6.

Sometimes after my workout (about 7--730) I will have a no sugar added ice cream bar or sandwich.

By 9 Im in bed in preparation for another day

Breakfast: between 8am (weekdays) to 11am (weekends or holidays)
Lunch: 12nn (weekdays), 2-3pm (weekends or holidays)
Snack: 4pm (weekdays), 5-6pm (weekends or holidays)
Dinner: usually around 9-11pm

Note: I'm normally not a morning person so those weekend/holiday schedule is actually what I call my normal routine. Of course during weekdays, I'm forced to eat earlier since I work from 8am-5pm.

This is interesting! Although we can see our friends' diaries, it doesn't usually indicate what times/intervals they take their food over a day.

As for myself:

On waking (about 7.45 a.m) I have a cup of tea

9 to 9.30 breakfast (after dropping my youngest off at school).

No morning snack (maybe just a coffee) but lunch around 1pm

Coffee & afternoon snack about 3.30 - 4pm

Main meal of the day around 7pm

Small snack (usually a packet of low-fat crisps) before bed (I go to bed quite late!).

I'm quite regimented about it *when* I'm being good, but I do have days when it all goes "pear-shaped" :ohwell:

This is a typical day, but when I work nightshift (x 3 nights over a 2-week period) I obviously have to do things quite differently

loztredders

During the weekdays it's pretty scheduled

7.30am - Breakfast
12pm - Lunch
6.30-7pm - Dinner
7.30pm - dessert if wanted and within calories

I try not to snack , as I have fixed braces and it's a pain to keep brushing my teeth all the time!!

Snack- usually an apple or carrot or something like that 10:30

socalgirl68

I usually eat 4 solid meals and one snack. I eat whenever I want to.. I used to do a time limit, but I found myself constantly thinking about food, so I stopped that
