How many meals a day do you eat?

It matters a whole lot when you eat your calories. One needs to maintain a steady blood sugar to keep metabolism as steady as possible.

This is not true for everyone. The one thing I have learned here is that broad generalizations are very wrong! Everyone is unique, like a snowflake, if it works for you it may not work for me. You have to learn to listen to your own body, and research a lot of different info to find a combination that works for you. My only rule I live by is:

"Give it time"

Your not going to gain weight overnight. Your not going to lose weight overnight. No product, or routine, or eating plan is going to work overnight. I give anything I try at least ONE FULL MONTH before I decided if it is going to work for me. I also understand it may have to change as I drop the weight, and it is OK to adjust with it. After all it is a Life Style, not Short- term.

Two actual meals, and about four snacks.

All depends if it is a weekday or weekend. Weekdays my eat is like clockwork5 to 6 meals, I work an office job so I graze while I am at my desk. My last "meal" of the day is generally around 8:30 or so. Weekends I tend to eat 3 to 4 meals.

Breakfast to focus on nutrition, you can eat bread and milk, or eggs, you can eat the fruit. Chinese food supplement should focus on carbohydrates, and eat pasta or rice, eat dinner, light-based, and do not eat too late, otherwise it can not digest.

5 meals + maybe snacks (around 2300 calories). starting at 5am and ending at 7pm rarely ever hungry.
on the weekends it's more relaxed, but still atleast 4 meals.
during the week at work it's like clockwork. 5am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm.

only cause i need to be asleep by 8:30pm/9pm to try to get atleast 4hrs of deep sleep and wake up around 5ish.. if i eat within an hour of bed i struggle to sleep even moreso then my normal very light sleep patterns.

I eat 6 meals that I write down, but a lot of those break up into 2-3 sittings. If I have the time I eat every 1-3 hours (like in the office for example)

Three...and then some snacking/grazing.

Personally I like having bigger meals for lunch and dinner...having 6 or 7 + small "meals" is just irritating to me and they resemble nothing remotely close to what I would actually consider a "meal"...it's like 6 or 7 + snacks throughout the day when I was doing that.

I guess it helps some people, but I always found it annoying and it's not necessary from a weight loss stand point...but if it helps with adherence then go for it.

Snap. I usually have 2-3 'proper meals' (sometimes skip breakfast if I'm on an early shift for work), and then 2 snacks.

I am the same, generally three meals a day and a few snacks if I feel the need although I have changed it slightly to build muscle at the moment. I kinda graze most of the morning, then have a big lunch, a snack in the afternoon and a big dinner.

2-3 meals a day, both meals after 12-1:00. Intermittent fasting is the shiz.

I may have a snack or two, it just depends on how many calories I have left for the day.

Usually the normal 3, with a midmorning, afternoon and evening snack.

I eat one big meal (600-800 calories), a shake (150 calories) and a snack (200-300 calories). All within an hour. Intermittent fasting, and I'm burning fat so quickly. Yay.

I eat three square meals a day.... Lunch, Dinner & Dessert.

I usually eat Lunch right on 2 pm, Dinner 7-8 and finish up with something sweet before 10, so I'm loosely doing a 16:8 type of IF. Occasionally I'm hungry in the morning, so I break it. I snack during that 8 hour window too.

I eat few times a day. Average day- 6am smoothie made of 2 servings whey protien, fresh berries or banana, milk and peanut butter. 8am, 4slices oatmeal bread, bacon, cheese, grilled mushrooms and large glass of fresh fruit juice. 9am pre workout creatine. 930 am workout, sip on whey protien during workout (mon chest shoulders, tue quads calves hamstrings,wed cardio and abs, fri bi's tri's, sat back traps- all muscle groups 3 exercises 3sets 10reps 1 exercise 1 set to failure). 1030am post workout glutamine/whey protein. 1pm white fish/meat, leafy salad greens, cous cous or steamed/jacket potato, cheese, home made dressing, fresh fruit. 4pm red meat, steamed/roast veg, wholewheat pasta/brown rice. 7pm whey protein, creatine, zma, multi vits, fish oil.
