My stepmom eats 5 meals a day most of the time and she gets upset when shes reminded of her weight. I believe in staying in shape and I'm pretty skinny. I only eat one meal a day and its mostly been that way since i was in 9th grade which was 5 years ago. IDK WHY i just find myself getting hungry only in the evening time. So how many times do u eat in a day? do u do it cuz ur actually hungry? or do u do it cuz u just love food?

1 meal, you eat little snacks through the day right??

not everyday, but if i do eat a snack its doritos

3 times. I try to eat breakfast.. but can't always manage it. Lunch and Tea always happen. I try not to eat between meals.

about 5 meals a day, never skip breakfast, i have to eat in the morning. But i don't snack, never done that

32 times.

sometimes not a lot sometimes more than needed

Lots, morning, lunch, after work snacking and dinner, so 4 times a day, I always make sure I get a good breakfast and lunch as they are the most important meals of the day.

Coffee for breakfast, piece of fruit for lunch and then dinner is the only meal i have - but then I'm a piggy!

Twice.

Brunch and early dinner.

4 or 5 times

Most often - 3 meals, 1-2 snacks

Sometimes on weekends it will be 2 meals and 1 snack. Or 1 meal and 4 snacks.

I generally consume about the same amount of calories each day, no matter how many times that's broken up into, though.

Eating one meal a day isn't good enough for most people. You need nourishment to sustain you and give you energy more often than that. It is also thought to slow down metabolism, making it easier to gain weight if you DO eat more than your usual amount of calories.

I work out and exercise usually 6 times a week, so I have to eat often. Usually 5 or 6 small "meals" a day.

Many

I eat 3 healthy meals a day and a snack around 3:00. I've been able to maintain my weight very well since I started eating better about 3 years ago. I try to eat all types of foods and I make sure I eat lots of fruit, veggies and protein.

On average, probably 8 or 9 times.

Sometimes less, sometimes more.

Varies. Maybe that's why I'm so thin. Some days I don't eat a meal at at, just a piece of fruit or some raisins. I have gone for days without eating anything but crackers and milk. Not that I'm a poor, but I just didn't have an appetite. When I do feel like eating, I eat breakfast and lunch or dinner. I never have 3 squares a day though. That's very rare.

3 meals a day...breakfast, lunch, and supper...

2 meals. Lunch and dinner. Snacks in between

I'm learning to eat more often... when I was young I was skinny... eating maybe once, twice a day... then I got older and ate two large meals and took meds and got HUGE. So now I eat 3 meals making breakfast the largest meal of my day and snack when ever I have an urge to eat.

I'm still overweight but I am dropping it off slowly.

2-4 times a day, I'd say. I try to eat less as the day goes by, meaning breakfast is easily my biggest meal. For dinner I'll often just have a salad or some fruit.

Same here. I FINALLY have the body I've wanted, and this is the best way to maintain it. So far, so good.

There is no fucking way I could survive.

I get my 3 squares and an occasional snack.

Thank you.

I aim for three, but sometimes I skip breakfast when I have to work early (and then feel gross mid-morning). Breakfast and lunch are usually pretty light. Main meal is dinner. I don't usually eat between meals at all.

Really? My body is SO weird...the less I eat, the less I wanna eat, and the more I eat, the more I feel like eating. Plus I live with people who eat NON STOP and I started picking up that habit and had to curb it.

Just two meals a day: lunch and dinner. I hardly ever eat breakfast, because I'm never hungry when I get up in the morning anyway. Why eat if you're not hungry? I know doctors now say that you should eat small meals every two hours. That would never work for me, because I have a very poor metabolism. That's what happens once you reach a certain age. I remember when I was in my late teens/early twenties I could eat whatever I wanted, and not gain an ounce of weight. Not any more!

Usually 3 times,but if I get really busy,I can forget to eat lunch.
