How many times a day do you eat?

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.
SAME exact situation!0 -
All of them. It does not matter.
Usually 3 with big snacks in between so that makes it 5, except when it is 6.0 -
any between 3-6 but in all honesty I just seem to eat all day everyday0
-
I normally eat 3 meals with 1 or 2 snacks, but sometimes on the weekends I only eat two meals.0
-
Breakfast - oatmeal
10 am - chobani
12 - deli turkey and pineapple
3 pm - apple
6 pm - dinner (usually chicken and asparagus or broccoli)
That is a seriously small amount of food.0 -
I honestly feel this is key to my weightloss. I eat 6-8 times a day. I make my own raw fruit smoothie in the morning, and I have a snack between every meal so I'm eating about every 2 1/2-3 hrs. Snacks are quick like low fat cereal bars or a piece of fruit. Altogether I've lost about 94lbs so my metabolism is learning. :-)0

I do the 5-6 meals every 3 hours. around 200-400 calories0

I have breakfast at 8, a snack at 11 (usually and apple and cucumber), then my lunch at 2, then dinner at 5, it really seems to work to keep me from getting hungry in between meals and dinner usually fills me up so I don't snack much after that, but if needed I would snack around 7.0

Three meals (2 which are under 250 calories usually) and three snacks (2 which are under 100 calories).0
-
I eat every three hours, getting in five to six meals a day.0
-
Breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack, dinner, evening snack....and I still stay around 1200 calories a day. I don't eat fast foods, processed/packaged foods. I get alot more food for my calories!!0

Im a student, so my schedule varies a bit, but on busy days i eat 3-4....on normal days i eat 6-70
-
I take 3 bites every 14 minutes. My metabolism is TURBO MODE because of this.
Joking aside: I don't keep track, I just eat until I'm out of calories but typically it's two very big meals and I usually have 1.5 scoops of whey in my AM coffee, and ice cream or popcorn or some other treat at night.
Lol.
I pretty much don't keep track either. I just sort of eat constantly or whenever I'm hungry (I like to snack) until I'm out of calories. I also have a snack late at night.
Eat whenever it works for you!0 -
While the number of calories are key here, by eating more often it keeps your metabolism going and actually helps you to burn more fat faster.
Keep the metabolism going by keeping food in your digestive system. Let your body do the work!!!0 -
I eat 6 times a day and LOVE it! I never get too hungry and end up bingeing on foods. It works!0
-
breakfast,
a fast lunch something like salad or bread with cheese or roasted chicken or a soup
dinner like chicken with spinaci and tomatoes or fish
2 snacks preferable soya dessert or yoghurt or fruits
it works with my working time from 7-5.0 -
It varies from 4-12 depending on how many cals I have left and what im doing. Eating is one of my favourite hobbies, I literally graze at my desk all day.
I also turn green and angry if I havent eaten for 3 hours!!! GRRRRRR0 -
just one meal but it lasts for like 14 hours0
-
On a typical day, 4 meals (8, 11, 2, after 5) and 1 bedtime snack. I can be flexible around events, though.0
-
every 2 hours starting at 730 am and stopping at 830pm...3 meals.the rest are snacks.....to keep my met. going0
