How many times do you eat a day?

[riberet19]

How many times do you eat throughout the day? In my case I usually eat 3 times a day, sometimes 4 times, but no more than that.

I believe that eating many times a day will not be beneficial for your body or metabolism

It is always different , but i will say the average is two times

Once a day maybe. I've gone three days without eating.

 

[Crys]

Twice or once a day.

Yes, usually two; occasionally one.

3 meals plus sometimes a snack or two.

Normally twice, lunch & evening.

Hmm I tend to eat about 3-4 times a day. I usually only eat like 2 big meals a day and the rest are healthy snacks such as fruits or veggies. I tend to be more snacky than to like big hefty meals.

It is small portion now but twice daily. I tried to make it as filling as I can.

3 meals a day.
The limited research suggests that eating three structured meals per day compared with fewer than three meals per day can help control appetite and lead to feelings of fullness.

That makes sense, as eating three meals probably does help control appetite. I usually just stick to two meals myself.

I am not a big fan of cutting down to just one meal a day, though. It might be fine for a few days, but doing it long term can be really hard on a person physically and mentally. Now, if someone eats one main meal but also has a few snacks here and there, like some fruit, then I think that is okay.

I always figure that when most people say they only eat one meal, they are probably still having a few snacks throughout the day. Unless, of course, they are just too busy to eat, or sadly, if they simply can't afford more, which is a tough reality for a lot of people.

I know I should eat three meals a day, but I've been skipping breakfast for as long as I can remember. I typically do two meals, lunch and dinner. Sometimes I'll go through the whole day and not even think about eating though.
