    Depends on when I'm hungry.

    Eat 3 meals usually; have about 2-3 snacks depending on the day.

    I don't believe in starving myself.

    I tend to get shakey if I don't eat often enough also. On a typical M-F, I eat about 6 times/day. On the weekends it can get wonky because of schedules. I rarely ever go more than 3 hours during the day without eating.

    I do 8:16 IF and eat twice a day with no snacking. Usually at 11am and at 6pm.

    At least 4 times a day.
    Breakfast
    Lunch
    Dinner
    Second dinner

    And I am not even counting how many times a day I grab a 40 calorie pudding pop.

    Intermittent Fasting is wonderful, and I feel much more energetic during those periods of not eating. However, most days I tend to eat 4x a day, 2 snacks + 2 meals. My meals feel huge, but are usually 60-70% fresh vegetables/fruits. Big salads full of variety, are the best!

    Usually 5-6 times a day... it all depends on how hungry I am and how much activity I did (aka if I ran a lot haha) sometimes it's 7 times a day

    But the typical day for me is breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack

    Sometimes it'll be breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, snack, dinner

    OR

    breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, snack

    Just depends :)

    I definitely have my 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't usually have a morning snack because I'm not hungry until lunch but I'll have an afternoon snack and usually one after dinner as well.

    I drink green tea constantly all day as well, which probably helps.

    7:00/7:30 Breakfast (Slimfast Shake)
    9:00/9:30 Snack (Under 100 Calories)
    11:00/11:30 Lunch (Slimfast Shake/Healthy Choice/Lean Cuisine, 190 calories or less)
    1:00/1:30 Snack (Under 100 Calories)
    3:00/3:30 Snack (Under 100 Calories)
    5:00/5:30 Dinner (550 Calories or less)
    6:30 Snack (Under 100 Calories) if needed/hungry/sweet tooth craving/etc.

    So far it's been working really great for me. It's based off the Slimfast 3-2-1 plan. I've just started my diet on Monday. On the first day I thought I was going to die of hunger, one the 2nd day I was like "Meh", and today, the 3rd day I've been feeling satisfied all day. I don't feel deprived of all my favorite foods at all. I used to get that weird shaky feeling sometimes too, but haven't experienced that at all lately.

    I carry a small snack bag of all bran bud cereal to snack on through out the day between my skinny meals which in the day might be organic protein drink, boiled egg whites, low carb lean salad and I have one or two high fiber low sugar fruits (half green banana or hard green pear) then at dinner I hav extra lean meat serving with whole grain bread green veggie and bean serving for dessert a 100 calorie snack this keeps me from feeling that way. I try to keep a extra lean protein matched with the low carb most times. This is a very filling and constant chew 1200calorie plan.
