Are you eating on schedule or when you're hungry?

I follow my body's cues and eat when actually hungry

Im eating on schedule like the days or the time

During the workweek I plan to eat on schedule but am a bit flexible. I have breakfast 7:30a, and then plan snack around 10a but will eat it a little earlier or later depending on if I am hungry. I plan to eat lunch around 12:30 but maybe a little earlier or later. Snack a couple hours later and dinner a few hours later. The weekends are all over the place. I tend to have bigger meals and less snacks on the weekend.

At work, I eat on a schedule. At home, I generally eat when I'm hungry.

I prefer to eat when hungry, though I have times I try and reach before eating lunch and dinner so I space my calories out.
However, I am often working round the food schedules of the other people in the house so I often eat when they do, and try to work snacks round that.

I don't think there is any point in eating unless one feels a bit of hunger, so my way of controlling what can be controlled is to start by listening to what size my breakfast should be to keep me fine until lunch without becoming drowsy from having eaten too much. Then my lunch should keep me going until afternoon, when a small snack could be eaten if I start feeling cranky. And again dinner should be small enough to allow me some activities in the evening, without falling asleep. So, lots of mindfulness on many levels, and a significant part is to distinguish between thirst and hunger, as well. This of course is the ideal situation, which has sometimes dramatic deviations in the unfortunate direction, hence my membership here.

Schedule or I overeat.

Mostly by cues.

Schedule definitely works better for me. It keeps me on a routine and supports the whole discipline thing.

Usually when I'm hungry. But sometimes when I make food for my kids (with their never-ending appetites) I eat because seeing their food kickstarts my cravings.

I eat on schedule due to the way my job is. Plus, supper is scheduled since I don't want to eat too late (past 7 is too late for me)

I eat scheduled meals - if I don't eat until I am hungry I would eat too much. If I get hungry before my scheduled meal I will snack, but hopefully if I made good choices I won't get too hungry in between meals.

For the summer right now, my work schedule varies from week to week so I try to eat when I'm hungry but on a small schedule (that changes from week to week). During the school year at college, I eat much more regularly as my classes are at specific times/days and I only work a few days a week then.

I am a teacher so I do everything on a schedule. I think that is why I struggle with my weight during the summer. I don't have a bell telling me it is time to eat, time to drink, time to go to the bathroom, time to go home.....
