Generally 3 meals a day...I'll snack if I need to, but it's not all that often. Sometimes I don't do breakfast either, so that drops me to 2 meals. I am less hungry for sure, and don't have many cravings at all. In fact, it's SO hard to even decide what sounds good to eat. Weird.

It depends. If I exercise, I always eat breakfast first. Otherwise I might have coffee with butter and/or coconut oil. Sometimes I eat a lunch-lunch (usually if I have a lighter breakfast). Sometimes I just have a cheese stick. I log as snack or lunch because I'm not always a strict meal person.

I eat dinner nightly. I don't usually eat after dinner unless my dinner lacks fat. Then I might have a fat bomb if I am worried about not enough dinner fat. Making sure I have fat before bed helps me sleep, I find.

Mondays are weird because I have grad school in the evening so I might have a lil' sumptin' otw to class and something more substantial at home at 9:30 or vice versa.

I listen to my body. I half-plan, I like to know what my dinner will entail so I don't eat a huge lunch if my husband is cooking something epic.

So to summarize: I like breakfast a lot. I always have fat before bed. I have done "fasting" in dieting before (and through an ED) and I do not want to embrace a hungry feeling. I want to eat. That's why I keto.

Feel free to view my newbie/still imperfect diary. ^^

2.5 times a day, generally.

The ".5" is generally something coffee or tea-like, with a fair amount of cream (or half and half, if I'm at a coffee place, since I don't feel like dealing with the "no...not whipped cream...actual cream...you know, the 'not-milk' half of 'half and half'..." crap), or butter and/or coconut oil if I'm feeling spunky. That generally adds a fair bit of calories, but isn't really a "meal."

I've been foregoing the coffee more often than not, lately, though, so it does generally end up more around 2 meals. Sometimes, it'll be as low as 1, depending on when I eat (which is usually after my son goes to school at 1pm, and sometimes I get sidetracked and don't eat until 2 or 3), and how big that afternoon meal is.

2-3

2 or less. I have been doing IF for about 5 years now and don't feel hungry at all until noonish anymore.

If I work out before I go to the office, I have my BCAA's, but I don't count that as a meal since it doesn't truly break the fast. I also have 2 cups of coffee with 1/2 a truvia packet in each every morning.

Two meals (brunch, dinner) with a mid-afternoon snack on weekends. Weekdays are different - about 5 times (BPC, light breakfast mid-morning, lunch, dinner and then usually something before bed). Lately I've added exercise and on weight training days I seem to be much hungrier - I don't eat more often, but find myself grabbing more calories before bed.

3-5 - I'm not just trying to watch carbs, but I'm also trying to stay within a calorie goal... it is difficult to eat 5 times and stay within goal, much less more than 5.

If you are trying to assess appetite, I could eat all day just like I would if I were eating carbs. But that is part of why I got so fat, so I can't give in to that anymore.

I typically eat several meals a day. I usually eat 2 eggs at 6:30am, 3 sausage links around 8:30am, Lunch at 11am, sometimes a snack around 2:30pm if needed, and dinner at 4pm. It really depends on what I have planned meal wise that day, and the amount of calories needed to support my workouts that day.

3 meals a day plus snacks. I've always had a healthy appetite Luckily now, it's more under control!

Monday - Friday, 2 meals a day and every now and then a snack. Saturday I save all my calories and carbs for one meal usually since we go out to eat at whatever steak house sounds good. Sunday I graze all day and don't really have a set meal.

Usually 2 meals. Sometimes a snack in the evening if I stay up very late. If I want to eat more than that it's an alarm bell to check for sneaky carbs (especially my kryptonite, fruit).

This is pretty much exactly me. Twice a day. Usually breakfast and dinner. Sometimes I skip breakfast and have lunch instead. That's usually because I have to eat out either with clients or my family. My pref is breakfast and then dinner. I usually have a small snack in the evening mainly out of boredom.

I've recently started one meals day to try to control my calories. So I have one c.1300 cal meal in the evenings. I do get hungry inbetween but I have done various types of IF, and this is no worse that way. My problem is I can overeat 3 times a day so I am trying to limit it to once a day. This is a recent thing so not sure if it will deliver the weight loss I still want, but I think it should. I do enjoy my hearty meal in the evening!

3 meals and usually 1 snack, sometimes less sometimes more. I don't eat huge meals though. I don't like that super full feeling.
