How many time a day do you eat?

[kelownagirl]

I eat 5-6 small meals a day and I like it. It keeps me from getting really hungry and I am less likely to gorge or eat bad stuff.

A typical work day:

-light-medium breakfast (yogurt with cereal and 1 piece of fruit)

-an apple mid morning

-veggies and protein at noon

-sometimes a snakc after school (fruit or cheese and crackers)

-dinner with veggies, protein and small amount of carbs

-sometimes an evening snack like above or maybe something "bad" like dessert or chocolate or popcorn

I do one huge breakfast, then 5 or 6 smaller meals.

If eating 2x a day suits your body and you are feeling good and happy, do you need to change it?

Everybody is different.

All the time.
7 am: 2 slices of bread, juice and coffee.
9 am: green tea and rye biscuits once I get to work
11 am: large salad, lots of beans, for lunch (gee, I do eat all the time don't I )
2.30: 2-3 sandwiches, tea or coffee (fuel for the ride home)
about 5: handful of nuts or something while I contemplate dinner
about 7ish: dinner (usually just one serving)
and most important - I have to remember to eat something before I go to bed at about 11 or I wake up irritated and restless in the middle of the night.

I wonder how I get time to ride my bike.

Ha. Everyone around me would wind up seriously maimed if I only ate twice a day. I'd say I typically eat five or six times a day, maybe seven if there's something really good in the cupboard I cant resist.

Brekky: yoghurt and muesli + coffee
Morning tea: piece of fruit or muesli bar or muffin + coffee
Lunch: sandwich and a couple of bits of fruit/veg, maybe some soup in the winter
Afternoon tea: piece of fruit or muesli bar or muffin (+ coffee sometimes)
Pre-dinner snack (only if I'm hungry): crackers and cheese or rice crackers and dip/hummus
Dinner: quite variable, but when left to my own devices it's usually something like a stir-fry or curry over rice with a little bit of meat and lots of veg.
Afters: a couple of chocky bickies or similar if there are any in the house, but there usually aren't.

Morning tea gets missed out on days I don't work because I get up later and I don't have time to get hungry between breakfast and lunch. That extra coffee I sometimes have tends to happen on those days too, seeing as I've only had one so far on morning tea-less days. The pre-dinner snack tends to only happen on days I've gone and done things between finishing work and getting home.
