Apparently we are supposed to eat 3 main meals, or what is now recommended 5-6 "mini meals" ie. snacks, sandwiches, small meals etc. in one day.

I only eat twice a day. A bowl of cereal in the morning, then a main meal in the evening. It's actually physically impossible for me to eat more, I feel sick really easy if I eat more than this. But it works for me I suppose.
How about you?

Only twice a day? Idk how you do it, man..

I absolutely have to have some breakfast when I wake up otherwise I brainfail for the rest of the day. I have dinner at work, but it's normally just a small meal. I have a bigger meal when I get home and then i'll have something before bed. So typically 3 decent meals and a couple of smaller ones?

Lately I can't really eat anything much, I don't even know why but I could go sometimes with one meal a day, but I usually eat two, it's very odd, I used to be able to consume about three meals not long ago. For some reason I just honestly don't care really for eating anything at all these days, the only thing I really like is Italian food. It's probably a bad thing, but I'm getting to be a skinny person myself, I really don't want to be underweight so I might as well consider to try and eat more meals and possibly snacks each day.

For main meals, usually twice a day, once on those days where I oversleep and miss lunch. Sometimes I'll grab one of those small bags of chips from the vending machine in the dorm lobby.

I typically only eat breakfast during hotel stays. There's just something magical about a "free deluxe continental breakfast" that I can't put into words. But most of the time I skip breakfast because I'm not a fan of "standard" breakfast food and none of the eating places on campus serve hamburgers for breakfast.

At least three times a day, sometimes a few more if I have more snacks at home.

- Something small and sweet at around 9AM when I get into work.
- Something at work between 2-4; depends on my shift, and when I get off/get break. Typically a slice of pizza or a small bowl of spaghetti.
- Something later at night after I get home.
- On my days off I find I'm munching all day. o_O;

Overall, I'd say I ate more when I was living at home... or, at least, I had more food at each meal. I hesitate to call anything I have anymore a meal unless I made it and it has several components to it. *shrugs*

More than I should. I can't help the fact that I've got a voracious appetite. ^_^''

I rarely eat breakfast unless I'm required to be up early anyways, then there's a small lunch and a large dinner with random snacks inbetween. :P

Weekdays and weekends are way different. I find myself eating all the time on the weekends and on the weekdays, I eat 3 times a day that includes mini breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes junk food which I used to eat a lot daily, but now I have greatly reduced eating all of that crap.

I hardly ever eat my breakfast except that my mum bugs me to at least drink the milk. >> She can’t let me go without eating or drinking in the morning on the school days and yeah, she compels me to have breakfast over the weekend even if I don’t feel like eating it. D:

That depends on many variables.

How long I'm awake
What I'm eating.
What sort of activities I'm doing.

For instance, if you're like me and have a tendency to pull all nighters, you should eat a 4th meal to compensate for all the extra work your body is doing.

If what I'm eating is very filling, I'll eat less of it, or vice versa.

If I'm doing tons of physical activity, I'll eat more to give myself more energy, to a limit.

lately once a day. i'm not home that much so i don't have access to food throughout the day (i could hit a fast-food place or a gas station but i'm trying to save money), and by the time i get home im worn out and don't have an appetite. there are always extra snacks at work so usually i just snag one of those and that's my meal for the day xD

Food has became a problem for me. I often find myself comfort eating. Even when I'm not upset, I will still comfort eat. I don't eat anything in school/public due to being paranoid whether people are watching me eat or not. Once I come home from school, I have some lunch, then a couple of snacks (chocolate :/) throughout the rest of the day. Sometimes I have so much snacks I can't eat dinner.



I'm actually surprised by the majority of these answers. I'm always munching on something. As for complete meals I'd say for the most part I eat two. That being lunch and dinner. I'm usually in a rush in the morning or I'm nauseous so I end up skipping breakfast a lot. During the summer time though I'm more likely to have something in the morning.

As for the rest of the day I'm munching on little things here and there. Cereal especially is a huge snack food for me. I could honestly live on an island with just 10 different kinds of cereal and milk that never went bad. Umm.. so yeah, point is I'm eating all the time!

Errrm.... I don't have a set amount of times when I eat per day. It honestly depends on how much I feel like making something for myself, how's my appetite, and just a whole bunch of other factors. So sometimes I would probably eat once or twice in a day, while other times I will be eating something as often as five-six times a day.

When I wake up in the morning for school, 6:00, I try to grab something really quick. Not necessarily breakfast foods.. I grab something like a bag of doritos, a leftover sausage (lol), or maybe a fruit roll up. Lunch at school is around 11:00, I almost always get nachos. If not I get a chicken patty sandwich. After I get home from school I usually make something like chicken nuggets, leftovers or chips. After everybody gets home if my mom didn't bother making anything for dinner I'll make something quick, this can be any time between 5:00 and 10:00. Seems like I eat a lot more than most of you, yet I'm still scrawny.
