how often do you eat?

I lost 65 pounds last year on Medifast which is 5 small "meals" (aka protein supplements/shakes) plus a sensible dinner. Now I've changed to Wonderslim which is 6 small "meals" and a sensible dinner. It works for me. I lose about 2 pounds a week when I stick with it.

Breakfast - 7.30-8am
Lunch - 1pm
Dinner - 5.30-6pm

Sometimes snack at 11am, 4pm or after dinner! Very rarely all 3!

I eat 4-6 times a day. I eat around 2,200 calories. My RMR is 2,053 and I typically burn 1,000 calories in excercise 5-6 days a week. I tried getting 3,500 calories in but can't eat that much.

1. Breakfast 6-8 am - Whey shake with peanut butter and banana
2. Morning Snack 10 am - apple or some other fruit, small babybel cheese
3. Lunch 12-1pm - typically dinner left overs from the night before
4. Afternoon Snack 3-4pm - peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, greek yogurt
5. Pre/Post Workout Shake - Whey shake at the gym
6. Dinner 7-8 pm - veggies, meat (pork, chicken) and starch

Don't typically snack after dinner because it is so late but if I do it is usually almonds or some type of nut for more protein.

i eat all the time...at least 5 times a day...sometimes 6.

I just joined Farrell's Extreme Body Makeover and they want you to eat 6 meals a day. No research here but they claim your body starts starvation mode at 4 hours from the time you last ate. Only one day into it so we shall see how it works out.

Do they want you to set an alarm to eat something in the middle of the night???

Couldn't help myself.

Good luck to you anyway!

Over the last week I have found that I feel most satiated when I eat my Breakfast (when I wake up 6:30am), Mid morning snack (10-11am - Or when i start to feel hungry sometimes I just need water) Lunch (12:30pm), mid afternoon snack just before I leave work and head home on the bus. This snack tides me over for my training - then I eat supper.

Somedays my training is later so I make my dinner and eat before hand. I usually don't feel too hungry in the evening after training if I do Its something light

Roughly thats 3 meals and 2 snacks.

i work from home so dont have any sort of set meal schedule, i try to eat when im hungry rather than eating at 'meal times' just for the sake of it.
usually im not too hungry till 1-2pm, so will have lunch then, tea about 8pm when my husband gets home, and maybe a snack or two in between.
if im hungry when i get up or going to gym at lunchtime, i will also have breakfast.
some days im real busy and just have maybe breakfast / a snack in the day and a big meal at night, somedays im starving and seem to eat all day!
whichever i do doesnt seem to affect my loss, my daily calories are up and down but it generally balances out to my goal over the week.

I changed my diary settings so I just have one long list of food. I eat when I'm hungry. Usually that's lunch, dinner, and a snack.

do you have just your set meals like breskfast, lunch, dinner etc
or do you eat small and often? if so how often?

im trying to work out the best way to loose weight im eating every few hours small amounts but im feeling so full! lol

My doctor told my mom once they best way to lose weight is to eat all the time. Every few hours eat something. Like a fruit or veg. if your not eating your body doesnt know when it will eat again then store food as fat.

I vary from this schedule occasionally, but usually eat at least 4-5 times daily: 7 am breakfast, 10:30 lunch/snack, ( sometimes: 2 pm lunch/snack), 6 pm dinner and (sometimes 8 pm snack (fruit)

Everything is permitted.... it really depends on the individual
Myself - i eat every 2.5 to 3hrs as i have a large appetite this consists of pre planned - breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, pre-workout snack and then dinner.. This prevents me from binge eating if i become ravenous!

I eat when I am hungry,I tend to have coffee with in 15 minutes of waking up but to have food I have to wait at least a half hour, I do not skip meals and sometimes I have three snacks and other times I just have one snack

When I feel hungry.
