So much nutrition info that I've read says it is best to eat small amounts of food numerous times during the day. Helps keep your metabolism out of starvation mode. This advice makes sense to me, but I find it very difficult to follow. I tend to eat once in the morning and once in the evening. And usually nothing in between. My weight is pretty stable as long as I keep to this pattern. I am afraid to change!! I'm afraid to start eating more often, for fear that I will eat too much! Is it better/healthier for one's body to eat more often? Could I simply eat the same foods, but stretch it out at different intervals than I do now?
When I do longer bike rides, I do eat during the ride. I've rarely had problems with bonking. But on normal days, when I work, and only ride 20-40 miles (if even that) I'm pretty much on the twice a day eating pattern.

What do you ladies do? How often do you eat? And do you feel like your eating pattern is beneficial to you in terms of your desired weight?

Thanks!!
