Do you eat only when you are hungry, do you eat to fill a void or do you eat when you are "supposed" to at breakfast, lunch and dinner?

I eat all day. Every day! I eat to prevent that feeling of hunger. I HATE feeling hungry.

I don't just eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I eat a bunch of small meals throughout the day. It's a wonder I ain't 500 lbs!

I can't eat too early so I tend to skip breakfast and have it later in the morning if I am still hungry...that is my worst eating habit, I guess...

Lunch and dinner, I do eat, at lunch and dinner times, but not set to the clock...

breakfast, lunch and dinner..

I eat whenever I feel Hungry or when I am thinking about Sex. So now,since I think about it alot I was putting on pounds,but I'm drinking Water Instead now.

sometimes I eat just to eat and sometimes I eat to stop myself from smoking cigarettes, but mainly I eat when I'm hungry.

I rarely eat breakfast, and that's a bad habit I need to get out of. As a kid I NEVER had hunger pains first thing in the morning, but as an adult I often do. But once I get out of the shower, brush my teeth, dress...for some reason the hunger pain is gone and I go on to other things instead of eating first. It doesn't mean I'm not hungry...I guess I'm just a procrastinator.

But dinner is a meal I never miss. Even if I once in every blue moon eat breakfast food at dinner time.

i'm never hungry in the morning right when i wake up so i'm a brunch person. usually have about two meals a day and a snack when i'm hungry or have time

Rumor has it that I will be going to get some food in a moment...

hungry

We have WAY too much in common... :O

I eat when I have the energy to go make something to eat.
Sometimes I eat once a day, sometimes more, and sometimes I don't eat at all.
I need a woman to feed me

I only have a cup of coffee in the morning (usually), the other meals... I just eat because it's a part of life , but there are times when I purely eat something out of joy and love every bite. The majority of the time though it is just routine and at times... I even forget lunch I get so occupied with what I am doing.

Although mention cookies... and that's all it takes.

I'm not a big breakfast guy either, although we do have a
big breakfast on Sundays, the only day we're all together
in the morning.

Sometimes i grab a fastfood lunch, but most times i'm set
with my pistachio's and

Dinner around 7pm.

I don't eat breakfast, I eat lunch around 12.30pm and dinner around 7pm. Being vegetarian, it's usually pretty healthy good... However I'm definitely a "snacker" though, during the day I'll happily munch some fruit or some crisps or whatever. Bad habit but I'm a growing lad and I need my vitamins

Also I eat really really quickly, as if it is gonna be my last meal ever. Not sure why, it might a genetic thing, a remnant of the Irish potato famine

I barely have time to sleep more less eat... But when I do eat . like once a day, I enjoy it nice and slowly! I do take vitamins daily (5) and keep active...

i will generally eat breakfast if i have cereal in the house ( sweet, sweet cereal)...

however, because i do like my hashbrowns, grits, and whatnot, i have been known to cook breakfast in the evening...

i have lunch most of the time... but sometimes, i'll skip it if i'm busy...

and i rarely miss dinner...

there are set times that i eat, if i'm at work... but if i'm at home, it's just whenever it hits me... i generally find though that my meals are consistent each within a an hour and a half range... dinner usually falls at the same time each day, etc...

i eat when i'm supposed to but after years of the habit, it just so happens i'm usually hungry at the time...

I can't eat right when I wake up. I don't know why, but I'm just not hungry. I have to wait at least a few hours.
So on weekdays, my breakfast is a Cherry Coke or a caramel mocha latte (sooo healthy!) which I don't consume until after I've left the house. I always have lunch around noon and I always have dinner around 6. I'm not much of a snacker, but if something really yummy is offered to me at work, I usually accept.

Weekends- anything goes. I love my Sunday brunch (like a good Minneapolitan- I swear EVERYONE here goes out to brunch on Sundays. It's a requirement. You must eat brunch.) But other than that, my weekends have no routine. I'f I'm really busy, I can often forget to eat if I don't schedule it out ahead of time. And if I'm hungover, I may not eat at all, or I may eat all the live long day, depending on my tummy.

I think having a small child with a large appetite, helps to make sure that we both have 3 meals a day...I fix something for him, I fix something for me too.

Before he was around, I would usually have 3 meals a day. But sometimes, I could just skip if I felt like it. If I have skipped a meal, it is usually the evening one. If I don't eat breakfast, I usually feel really sick.

Sometimes I use food to comfort myself and sometimes I don't eat due to worrying about x, y or z.

I believe that there is some link between taking too much responsibility for 'things' and carrying more physical weight. I also think that food is one of many things that can be abused--and when I have done so, I dull my other senses, which isn't a good thing and needs looking at, so as to find other ways to cope with whatever.

Why do you come around when I can't find you? I have a very special thread I'm going to make just for you, Freespirit!

I eat whenever I feel starved. One of the lucky few who can eat what they want.

YOU ARE BUGGIN' OUT!!! CWebb is lovely! I thought everyone melts when he cracks that smile!! Good Lord woman, open your eyes!!

CalhounSq said:

No, not lovely!


No, no melting! The smile is ok, but ... it's so overshadowed by his whining.


What do Chris Webber and the necklace around my neck have in common? Hmmm?



They're both CHOKERS that are worth A LOT!

Errr, ahem.

I eat whenever i want, whatever i want.

I eat as often as I can and enjoy it.

I'd better skip this topic, or I'll get back on the "f-word" subject again! (nope, not 'food' or 'fuck')

I usually eat when I'm hungry. Sometimes if I'm not, I'll go a whole day before I realize I haven't eaten anything. Occasionally I overdo it though, like around Christmas time, or when I go out to eat.
