    I'm generally a big believer in eating all of my calories BUT, once in a great while, I have a day when I just don't feel like it and so I don't. As long as it isn't a frequent occurrence, I find that I am fine with coming up a few hundred calories below my goal once in a while. I've noticed that this tends to happen when I sleep in (another rare occurrence) and then eat a big lunch.
  • Sometimes I do i do 6-7 meals but with my work I'm so busy sometimes I don't have time to and I don't even realize how hungry I am. At times it feels so repetitive but when you see the results eating that many times is completely worth it.

    If it isn't working for you, then try less meals? The # of meals you eat during the day doesn't matter. If 6 isn't working out, try 4 or 5 and see if that fits better with your schedule. If that doesn't, then go back to 3..or even 2. Just as long as you are meeting your calorie goals, it'll be fine.
