I eat three or more just depends.  When I am working I like to eat a big breakfast when I can because it fills me up for a good part of the day and I don't get as hungry when I am working.

No, I do not eat 3 times a day. I am too emotional usually to do this. I think a person would have to be feeling pretty stable to eat 3 times a day. I would like to get to the point of eating better and will continue to work at it.

I try to eat 3 meals a day with snacks inbetween so I don't feel so hungry when meal time comes around. I think it's better to eat smaller meals and snacks, it keeps your metabolism going. Just remember to eat healthy, try to anyway

I rarely eat 3 meals a day. Sometimes I don't eat at all. I'll be standing in the kitchen making dinner thinking "how long has it been since I've... HOLY CRAP! I Haven't eaten in 3 days!"

I have a lot of kids and a LOT of stress. It's easy for me to forget to take care of myself.

i eat 3 times a day.. breakfast, lunch and dinner. i always take enough breakfast it keeps me fresh to work... without breakfast i cant work..
Preparing a good breakfast can be as quick and easy as splashing some milk over cereal. Time invested in breakfast is much more valuable than the few extra minutes of sleep you might get by bypassing the morning meal.If you seem unable to make time for breakfast, pack a breakfast brown-bag the night before so that you can eat on the way to work.......
Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to cause weight gain than weight loss. Skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity. Studies show that overweight and obese children, adolescents, and adults are less likely to break the fast each morning than their thinner counterparts.

According to research, skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal or nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave off hunger. Several studies suggest that people tend to accumulate more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals. To teens, especially teenage girls, skipping breakfast may seem like a perfectly logical way to cut down on calories and lose weight. It's important for moms to educate their kids about the importance of the morning meal and the role it plays in maintaining good health and preventing obesity.

No, I eat 1 time a day. I know that's not the right thing to do, but I don't have an appetite in the morning. I eat when I am hungry. That is usually when I get home from work. I do nibble on nuts, popcorn and dried fruit throughout the day.

It's definitely good to eat 3 times a day but you should eat more frequently and smaller portions to keep your metabolism going. 4-6 smaller meals every 3-4 hours if you can so you aren't famished by the time you eat your next meal. I had a glass of water the other day when I was hungry and that kept me from eating junk too

Post by: NMcBride02 on June 21, 2011, 02:32:50 pm
I use to never eat breakfast, until I started to notice that I can not function without it. As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it is true! Now I eat a really big breakfast, while snacking throughout the day. I definitely eat breakfast and dinner, and then I eat at least six light snacks throughout the day to prevent hunger. I also noticed the snacking throughout the day curves my appetite, allowing me to be full after the snacking. I have managed my weight, and I feel great! I would recommend two actual meals (breakfast and dinner, preferred hefty portion) and snacking throughout the day.

To be happy and healthy I eat 3 times a day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then between meals I eat fruit or vegetables to keep healthy and alot of excercise. If not all combined then there is health issues.

I eat 4 or 5 times a day very small meals and by doing this I find I eat less and loose weight faster and feel better during the day. Some meals might be a fruit and just one teaspoon of peanut butter for protien. veges and fruit a staple in my diet, and  small amounts of very lean meat.

Generally I eat three meals a day, with some snacks in between, but it depends.  Occasionally I'll have a big lunch, and a small dinner, or a big dinner and a small lunch.  Some days I eat breakfast - those days I generally skip a meal, unless I'm working that day.

Most of your posts are one word or jumbled up nonsense. I'll be surprised if you get your monthly $3 monthly posting bonus. You posts need to be more than one sentence and contributory for everyone else. One or two word posts are going to get thrown out and you will not get paid.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I can't hardly eat something in the morning for some reason. The most I can get down is maybe a piece of fruit. I usually eat lunch and dinner. Try to eat the lightest meal at dinner. I do snack a lot during the day with nuts, seed, cubed cheese, fruit. Some days that's all I will eat is snacks (4-6 a day), and nothing else. Somedays it works better for me.

During the week I generally eat 3 meals a day but on the weekends, especially if I get called into work, it ends up being 2 (with a snack later). I try really hard to curb my snacking and making sure that I eat right but it's a work in progress. :)

Three regular, complete meals a day - no.  I love breakfast, but I'm a night person and don't get hungry until I've been up a while.  If I'm stressed or busy I'll forget to eat until my stomach rumbles then If I'm not ready to make a real meal I'll just grab some fruit, nuts, jerky, etc to tide me over to a stopping point.

Probably not!   I like to eat a good breakfast, and a late lunch.   Maybe snack later.    However, that was under my old crazy work schedule.   My wife eats about 5 meals a day, and she is much healthier!   LOL
