How many times a day do you eat?

5-6 times, two of those being a breakfast shake since I'm always in a rush in the morning and then a shake at night. I'm lucky work in an office and can prep snacks at work so I can imagine it'd be tough in a different environment to keep it up.

As many as i want, whenever i want, as small or as big as i want between the hours of 10 & 6 No point in obsessing, i've never believed the hype of small meals spaced evenly throughout the day.

3 meals, 3 snacks.

I eat about 5-6 times, depending on my schedule. It wasn't exactly for weight loss. It was at the suggestion of my doctor due to some digestive issues. I feel a LOT better, but yes, it has helped with managing my weight.

I eat 5 times a day. I keep my primary meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) smaller than I used to and then fit in a healthy snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon, something like a protein bar that is well balanced and doesn't require a break to eat.

as much as you want as long as you keep to your limets and not eat before 6 - 8 pm

I eat eight times a day for close to 2,400 calories. 6am, 8am, 10am, noon, 2pm, 4pm, 7pm, 9pm. This helps keep my metabolism charged all day and maximizing absorbtion of nutrients. DeterminedResults.com

Eating more frequently does not keep your metabolism "charged"....your metabolism would be the same whether you ate 3 or 8 times.

3 meals maybe a snack in between 2nd and 3rd meal depending on what shift I'm working. So about 4 times a day . I don't like having too long between meals, but once I've had my main cooked meal (normally in the evening , as it's the only time I get to cook) I don't get hungry after. On days off from work I will have breakfast later - maybe 11am instead of 7.30am (when I'm on an early shift)

I usually eat 3 meals a day averaging 500-600 kcal/meal. I guess reducing that to 3 meals and a snack still keeping the overall Cal intake same would be a better option to keep the gap between meals less and keep the metabolism better.

I do have three well balanced meals each day and healthy snacks or fruits in between these meals!!

I eat 8-10 meals a day because it stokes my metabolic fire and it's the only way I can get diced to the socks.

What.

I eat 5-6 times per day because that is what a bariatric doctor suggested for me. I feel good eating that way rather than three larger meals although he told me I could do that if I preferred.

3 meals and one or two snacks.

Three meals a day plus two "snack sessions" for me. Eating at the same time every day seems to have helped regulate my metabolism.

I aim for 4-6 meals a day; and depending on your job your 'meal' can be a snack such as a bit of dried fruit with a protein source of your choosing

I thought of that, but unless I shove food down my throat on a bathroom break, there's not time to eat. I work in a restaurant.

Nah- I work in a restaurant too- I keep easy things in my apron pocket- trail mix- snack bars- nuts and raisins for example. I put an order in the computer- grab a handful of snack- munch it down and go make a salad or whatever other junk I need to do next. No restaurant sends you flying around from the second your shift starts til end - there are tiny moments. (not breaks, moments) All thru my shift- sure there may be 2-3 hours of a dead run- but thats it- eventually it slows to a regular paces after rushes.

And if its against the rules at your place to eat this way- yea mine too- but guess what- I never met a server that wasnt some kind of sneak against the rules. We're not allowed to eat the food we sell unless we buy it for half price, clock out and hide in our scummy lil break room. NFW- trail mix keeps me going til I get in my car and can have something more substantial. And yes I do pack something and leave it in the car since Im 30 minutes from home and dont want to wait any longer to eat something more substantial.
