I want to try out the 5 small meals each day

I ate 6-7 small meals every day in my early days because I thought eating constantly made it easier to eat less overall, instead of getting really hungry between meals and then overeating to get rid of the hunger. But I was faintly hungry all the time and eating all the time and I have to work and live in between meals... So I stopped.

But there's no real point to doing it, and if I went back in time I wouldn't bother doing it again.

I do still eat four "meals" sorta. Or three meals and a snack, I guess. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then I have a night-time "meal" which is just whatever calories are left over, I eat some stuff before bed. Approximately 800 cals for each of the first three meals, and then another 300 cals for the final meal. I do this, and I'm not hungry between, meaning I don't need snacks. I could probably cut it down to three, two, or even one meal, but I like this way better.

If you do go ahead with a bunch of small meals, which again is kinda pointless, then good luck... And for examples of foods to eat - uh, anything you would normally eat. Fit it into your calories and macros like you normally would, just eat smaller quantities of it at a time. Weigh it... Log it...

umm, I have tried it. It really has zero affect on metabolism vs. the other ways (fewer larger meals a day etc). But if you prefer 5, like I did at one point then there is nothing wrong with it. Like taso suggested, plug in the meals and see what comes out. You can play around. Like I would just have 2 eggs and a slice of cheese for breaky, protein shake for pre-lunch, have some rice + chicken curry for lunch, fruits/pb sammich for pre-dinner and then some veggie curry or lentil curry with flat bread for dinner. You can do pretty much any way you wish

Why don't you just start plugging in some food into tomorrow's food diary and see what fits your nutritional targets?

Cause that makes too much sense.

You don't need to eat 5 meals a day unless you just really want to. I personally like to have a fairly large dinner, but generally only really 2 normal sized meals. My others are more like snacks. With a calorie goal of 1600 or less, dividing that up into 5 or more equally sized meals would leave me very unsatisfied after eating.

I like eating smaller calories throughout the day because I have poor digestion so it helps my tummy plus it helps me keep pretty good energy throughout as well. You could have an open faced sandwich, omelet, Greek yogurt, fruit or veggie with peanut butter, small salad

I get up early so I have a small breakfast of about 150 calories at 7AM...then I do a snack of about 150 calories at 9:30AM during break at work. I have a lunch of about 300 calories at NOON. At 3;30-4 PM I will have a small snack..usually around 60-70 calories...so I usually have an apple or carbmaster yogurt. I have dinner around 7PM which I try to keep under 500 calories. I workout at 8PM and sometimes eat another small snack under 100 calories around 9:30.

My total intake is 1200 as ordered by my doctor as is my eating schedule.

I eat four or five a day. Stops me from getting hungry. I also do most of my eating before my lunch Again because that's what works for me
