On average how many times per day do you guys eat?

2 meals per day : lunch and dinner/ post-wo

I hate breakfast, too. But I've gotten to where I do have more than just coffee on many days. It doesn't have to be sweet or sugary! I'm not much of a sweet tooth either. I've been making "egg muffins" which are basically just frittatas cooked in a muffin pan. Very low-calorie and high-protein, plus you can add anything you like. I do tomatoes, spices, cheese, etc. Spinach and mushrooms would be good in there, too! I also love breakfast burritos, and you can make a healthy version of those! I love spicy stuff for breakfast.

I don't always eat 6 meals. Sometimes there's just not time or I'm just not hungry . .. or if I am, I want a bigger meal all at once instead of a bunch of little things spread out. There are conflicting studies about whether eating frequently throughout the day really benefits your metabolism. As long as you're getting the nutrients you need and staying under your calories, as well as exercising, your metabolism should be FINE! Some doctors even say that eating too often throughout the day, even if you're choosing healthy snacks, can be too much stress on the digestive system.

When all is said and done, YOU know your body. Don't force yourself to eat six meals if you don't feel like it. Just try to be healthy at the times you do choose to eat. I find I'm personally much less likely to binge if I eat a few big meals instead of a bunch of small ones.

Meal.....snack........Meal........snack.........meal........snack. That makes 6 times a day for me.

I know it doesn't matter when you eat your calories for weight loss but I find I don't get cravings if I eat smaller amounts, more often than if I ate 3 larger meals.

Six:
Breakfast
Morning snack
Lunch
Afternoon snack
After workout Protein shake
Dinner

I'm the kind of person that if I don't hold it down to 3 per day, I will make the smaller 5 or 6 meals turn in to 5 or 6 regular meals and eat way too much. I just stick with what works for me, the regular 3 per day.

I guess, I have about five meals a day. One of them is a mid morning snack.

However, I simply eat when I am hungery. I just notes on how it works for me.

Even though my job requires travel across the country, I try to eat 5-6 small meals per day.....average of 350 per meal.

5-6 times everyday and at least a gallon of water for me......

It really depends on my mood. Sometimes once a day, most times 3, other times 6 times a day.

I usually eat around 8 to 10 times a day. That's just how often I get hungry. All the meals are usually around 250 - 300 calories.

I'm glad that method works for you. If I did that...I'd binge.

It depends--some days it's like 5-6, other days it's like 8-10. No fewer than 5 for me.

I tend to eat every two hours up till dinner or I get irritatable. Dinner goes on until I feel satiaty and then my day is done. Works for me

I was told that I should eat about 6 times a day, but that is really hard for me. They say it is what will keep your metabolism at an appropriate level. I forget to eat about every two to three hours. Any suggestions? When I do eat, I try to make sure that I have a protein, slow and fast carb, but that is really the only thing I have down. The snacks are what I forget and sometimes it is hard to get that breakfast in because when I wake up I start work and forget until about 10 or so that I have not had breakfast. I am not accustomed to eating breakfast because when I was younger it made me sick. Breakfast is such a sweet meal and I am not really into sugary things.

You should look into Leangains Intermittent Fasting. It sounds like it would fit well with your lifestyle. You don't have to eat breakfast, so you can relax about that. :flowerforyou:

I eat 5 times a day....breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. There are other options for breakfast besides muffins and doughnuts/donuts (ie. other sweets). Those aren't exactly healthy anyway. I used to make omlets at night and just reheat them in the morning to save time. You could also eat yogurt, granola, oatmeal, protein shake, turkey bacon/sausage, veggie bacon/sausage, or fruit just to name some options. I prefer eggs (or egg beaters or egg whites) and some type of meat (usually turkey or veggie sausage). I know veggie sausage isn't meat, but it goes well wih eggs. If I use real whole eggs, I just use 1 egg. With egg beaters or egg beater egg whites I do 1/2 cup.

For me:

Breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Snack
Dinner
Snack (if I still have cals. I need to fit in).

But I have to eat 5 - 6 times a day (medical issue) . Otherwise it would probably be just 4.
