    I eat every two hours for most of the day.

    Breakfast
    Snack
    Lunch
    Snack/Protein Shake
    Pre-Workout Snack
    Post-Workout Snack (sometimes skipped)
    Dinner
    Snack (sometimes skipped)

    Weekends are a bit different, as I am usually more distracted.

    2 to 6 times a day. Business traveling days I really focus on only eating on plan.. some airports shut restaurants down and if you miss supper catching flights with an after 8 pm lay over... well, I pack protein bars now.

    I eat three meals per day, usually no snacks. I'm getting great results.

    I've also gotten great results in the past eating 5 and 6 meals per day. Whatever fits your lifestyle & needs.

    This implies that at some point the eating stops...

    I eat pretty much all day, lol. Basically I'll have some food when I'm hungry. Some days I get bigger meals and almost no snacks, most days smaller meals and a lot of snacks.

    Since I eat a good amt of protein I dont find myself requiring snacks. Whenever I start to get a little hungry its usually mealtime

    I always thought I ate 3, but looking back I really ate 5-6 which would be why the scale and measurements were not dropping for me despite my dedication to my workouts. I have started to "officially" eat 5 meals a day, but now I am actually focusing on what I am eating and how many calories it is totalling up to. What an amazing difference it is making for me. By eating healthy foods constantly, I am no longer craving the snack machine and my kids snacks.

    Three or four times per day here, but I think I need to up it -- I only eat 100-250 calories at a "meal" and I am freaking hungry all the time. My new motto is going to be "drink less, eat more."

    It changes from several times to once. I don't care really, I just try to keep within my 8 hour eating window.

    Hi! I was wondering what do you snack?

    I've recently switched to a 16:8 IF schedule, so I only eat between noon and 8pm. That's usually two meals and something like 5 snacks depending on where you draw the line between one snack and another.

    Usually only three time a day, typical breakfast, lunch and dinner. Occasionally, not often, I have an afternoon snack.

    3-6, usually 3-4. I do just fine on three meals/day, but I sometimes have snacks if I realize I didn't eat enough at my previous meal or will have a piece of fruit from my next meal a little early.

    I usually eat 2-3 times a day
    "lunch" (300-500 cals) at 4pm and then dinner (500-1000 cals) at 7pm

    sometimes (rarely) I have a small bf / afternoon snack, like a peach/slice of bread or something.
