Hey Everyone,

    I eat 5x a day and it's relatively evenly distributed between 8am - 8pm.

    I eat 3 meals a day too, and usually have 2-3 snacks, but I heard that you should eat every 2-3 hours!? Is that true!?

    Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full.

    I've always done every 2-3 hours. Be it a whole bunch of meals, or carrots one snack and dinner the other ;) Keeps the metabolism going.

    I eat between 6 and 8 times a day, usually every 2 hours. I find I eat a lot less in meals if I am not starving between them.

    I probably snack every 2 hours. My snacks are usually just fruit or veggies. As far as meals go probably 3 times a day.

    I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks.....sometimes the snacks have more calories than the meal :-)

    I need my evening snack....usually some yogurt or a slice of bread with peanut butter to keep me from wanting to snack on junk food.

    I've been doing this for about 85 days now and have never been hungry, so it's working great for me..

    I have lost 22 pounds.

    I just make sure I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Usually a haelthy sack in between, but nothing after dinner.
