    It depends on you and your activity levels...ALWAYS eat breakfast... and pay attention to the macros... my preference is 3 "regular meals" with a snack in between both... IF it is a gym day (3x/week for me) I go after work, so I try to fuel that workout... ideally my former nutritionist recommended that you spend a few days analyzing your hunger on a scale of 1-10... 1 being starving.. 10 being Turkey Dinner full...and to keep the gauge between 4 and 6 ideally... SO.. however that works for you.

    As to the bold, that is preference as well. The only always to weight loss is a consistent calorie deficit.

    I like 3 meals and 3 snacks for myself. Keeps me feeling full. But, it is totally personal. Some people do better with 3 big meals.
