    Hey I have 4 a day, breakfast morning snack lunch and dinner.

    In my opinion and I am sure many will argue this point, I dont think it matters how many times you eat a day, as long as it works for you! If you are findning that you are hungry incorporate two snacks. :flowerforyou:

    You can have as few or as many as you want as long as you stay within your calorie goal (or within a small variation of it).

    I generally eat twice a day with maybe a snack in between if I am hungry.

    I'm not satisfied if I just have small meals all the time. Tried it and it doesn't work for me. I have two decent sized meals a day, with a few super healthy snacks inbetween. That's what works for me anyway :)

    3 meals and generally 2 snacks. Agree w/the above folks - whatever works for you and as long as you stay within your daily goal calorie wise.

    Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner. Sometimes second snack...but I'm defining snacks here as things like apples/clementines.

    I usually eat a breakfast, noon, supper meal... then I have a 100-200 calorie snack in between (an apple, some almonds, flax pretzels, etc). This seems to work for me because it keeps me from getting hungry between meals.

    BUT...yesterday, some one was very rude to me in a forum and told me repeatedly that I should not be "snacking" so much.. so I say, I what feels right to you.

    I always have breakfast, then something around lunchtime and my proper cooked dinner in the evening. None of it is set in stone though....I just do what I feel like or what fits in on any particular day.

    I don't eat any regular meals..just grab it when I can - a disabled wife and 4 servants of chaos (sorry,meant to put kids! ;) ) means my mealtimes are more of a grab-it-as-you're passing although I do try and eat my evening meal within a two hour window between 8 and 10pm.... But,hey,i'm still losing and have lost more since being on here than any other method i've tried!

    I eat whenever I like, sometimes it'll be 8 or 9 times in a day sometimes 1 or 2 times.

    I dont think it matters when you eat though. Just do what feels right xx

    I usually have lunch and dinner, plus evening snack, or breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus evening snack. I might have other snacks during the day if I'm off my normal routine. It doesn't matter how many you have a day though, just find a way that suits you, and helps you reach your goals.

    Sometimes it's only five, but I try to eat six small meals a day and I drink LOTS of water. :)
