Depends on the day. One, two, six. Whatever. I never eat a meal for three hours after I get up and I've lost weight. Anyone who says it's impossible to lose without breakfast is wrong.0

I have trouble with eating a bunch of small meals and end up overeating by a lot or munching on more than I meant to. I have the most success when I eat 2 larger meals and a snack here and there.0
-
I have five to six small meals a day every one and a half to two hours. I have the first meal right after I wake up. I don't eat late night just because I don't feel like it, but I wake up sooooo hungry.0

Usually 5 with the one with my family being the biggest.0
-
usually eat 6 times/day...3 meals, 3 snacks and occasionally 3 meals 2 snacks. It works for me and I never find myself tired or starving.0

Three plus snacks. Usually wake up around 3-3:30 a.m., gym is at 5:00 a.m. try not to eat my breakfast until around 10-10:30. This makes me less hungry throughout the day and seems to work for me.0

I eat breakfast, am snack, lunch, afternoon snack, supper, light evening snack. This is how I was told to do it by my weight loss mentor and have had great success with it, so I continue it.0

3 meals + 1 or 2 snacks in between lunch and dinner. I try very hard to not eat after dinner. I eat later (8pm) than most so it doesn't bother me most of the time.
On the days I swim I don't eat breakfast until I get home. A full stomach makes me feel a bit sick when I exercise. Sometimes I will drink a glass of milk before I go though.0 -
3 meals and a snack.
Breakfast - 7am
Lunch - 11am
Snack - 3pm
Workout sometime between 4:30-6:30
Dinner - 7pm
I eat a later dinner so I don't snack out on the bad stuff at night. I stay full till bedtime.0 -
6. I get less hungry with frequent feedings and it gives me something to look forward to every few hours.0

2-3 meals . usually 3 during the weekdays (unless i'm skipping dinner) and 2 on the weekends. i prefer bigger meals and i dont really like snacking.
i have always pooped as many times as i eat which is one reason i've never been a snacker (the other reason is that i find chewing to be annoying so why do it more than i need?). at one point in my life i had to eat 5 meals a day. i spent a lot of time in the bathroom0 -
Two. normal lunch and a huge dinner right before bed.0
-
1-2 meals and 2 snacks. Lunch, snack, dinner, and snack. The idea of food right after I get up just turns my stomach so I usually don't eat until 3-4 hours after that point. If I have a really challenging work out in the morning, I will add a small snack right after like a piece of fruit, some nuts, or a glass of milk. It works for me and I am never hungry this way.0

3 - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Snacking just makes me more hungry.
I split my calories evenly between the 3 meals but have not mastered regular timings yet. Because of illness I often do not manage to get up until afternoon so there can be quite small gaps between my 3 meals. It is not unusual with me for it to be Breakfast 1pm, Lunch 4pm, Dinner 8pm. I Sleep sometime after midnight usually. I eat around 500-600 calories at each meal.0 -
I eat three meals with an allowance of 45 carbs and 3 snacks, mid afternoon, evening snack and an additional snack of almonds that I munch on throughout the day. For my snacks I limit to 15 carbs.
I do this because I find that I never get too hungry for any one meal. I try to eat as close to1300 calories that I can.0 -
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. I try to eat a good healthy breakfast, a light lunch (salad, protein shake. or tomato sandwich), and make a good dinner but I try to eat before 7pm. I do a lot of bored eating, but I have been trying to make my bored eating healthy. This just seems to work for me.0

i eat 5 to 6 small meals per day. i used to bodybuild, and that's how i had the best workouts and recovery. more recently i developed type 2 diabetes, and i discovered that this is the size of meals that increase my blood sugar the least, and about 2.5 hours is when my blood sugar drops back down.0
-
All of them. Some say several small some say other wise - go with what works for you when in doubt.0

I eat 2 meals a day, skipping breakfast. Never been a fan, finally decided to just cut it out altogether. On workdays I also have two "snacks" (read: coffee breaks). I eat a small lunch so that I have plenty of calories left for a nice big dinner.
Coffee - 8:30 am
Small lunch - 11 am
Coffee - 3:30 pm
Big Dinner - 6-7 pm
Work for me. Eating more frequently makes me hungry constantly, and there's not a whole lot of things that I am willing to eat, in portion sizes that are acceptable to me, for under 500 calories, which having 3 meals a day necessitates. And that also makes me unhappy and more likely to binge.0
