Are you a 3 meals a day person or a grazer,as I am?

I eat about 7 times a day and some people think I'm nuts.

Weight has never been a problem and I'm never hungry.

I really don't enjoy "dining".

1. That's really how you should eat.

I have roughly 6 meals a day. Our metabolism isn't working at optimum levels when we eat 2 or 3 big meals a day spaced hours apart.

2. 3 meals a day

I've never been much of a snacker and I don't care for picking at food all day long.
I don't get very hungry in between meals.

3. I eat at least 4-5 full meals a day. On top of that I also eat snacks.

I'm always hungry.

4. I eat three meals a day...

But they're not huge...

I will snack if I get really hungry before the next meal...

I do enjoy dining...

And I don't want to be in the kitchen the whole damn day!

6. I don't like eating early in the morning

so I usually eat only 2 meals. Sometimes I have fruit, like grapes, in morning but I don't eat a full meal. So I usually only have lunch and dinner.

9. Grazer ...

I don't really eat "meals."

I eat.

I'm from a low-metabolism family with a lot of seriously overweight people. I happen to be the thinnest at only about 10 pounds overweight for my height.

10. Grazer.

I eat when I'm hungry. I'm single, have a couple of cats, don't cook. I eat frozen dinners, cans of soup, salads, English muffins, stuff like that. If I want a cookie, I have a cookie. I'm about 20 pounds overweight for my height, but my weight has been stable for about ten years, so I'm not concerned about it.

13. I usually graze ... eat when I feel hungry

and I don't usually eat huge quantities. My weight has never varied more than 5lbs in either direction... and it's a good thing I'm not a stress-eater; I quit eating when I'm stressed (which is a lot). If I gain weight, it tends to be when I'm feeling happy and secure.

I do enjoy dining, but I just never eat too much. I love food, flavors, etc., sometimes I really love cooking. I just don't overeat.

14. i'm a once a dayer usually

with perhaps a light snack around lunch like a Slim Fast and a handful of trail mix.

I eat a fairly big dinner but that's it.

if I have a big lunch, it's popcorn or chips and salsa for dinner

15. I generally eat something when ever I'm hungry. We have a sort of meal

in the afternoon sometime, not really dinner. My wife eats a lot of yogurt and fruit several times a day.
