Just curious as to how many meals people eat "on average" each day. If ya want, throw in snacks too........some snacks are as much as a meal anyway.
I eat one to two meals each day, 99% of the time. When I cook I sample and it's as much as a typical snack, but fills me up and I'm not hungry(I eat leftovers for b-fast).
I don't snack thru the day, I drink water and beer. 75% of my meals are 75%+ meat. When I get hungry I have a beer, then I'm good for a while.
I try to eat b-fast, if not then just supper/dinner. If I eat b-fast then sometimes I have supper.
My "diet" has to do w/weight loss but more w/time(take'n time) to eat.
My stomach as shrunk to the point of 1 hamburger will suff me.
I'm not skinny, not really fat, muscular(the 40 yr old type ). 5'11 bout 160-170#.
Had a friend in college that could eat 2 foot long subs and finish off 1/2 a small pizza. He had bout 5% body fat, ate like a frigg'n horse. Another friend ate less than me and you couldn't tip him over(belly stopped him).
i think no one is answering cause we are embarrassed--you eat only twice a day! i eat all day long--not proud of it, but isnack constantly, plus eat 3 meals
I have a large dinner at about 6:00 pm. In the morning I maybe have a bagel with some cream cheese or toast. I snack on cheese, nuts or leftovers in the fridge during the day but only a bite here and there. Yes, I "munch" all day long but my weight is not a problem. I think by eating small amounts, often, you keep yourself from eating to much. At least this is what works for me and it keeps my energy level up. Plus what I munch on is healthy foods as I mentioned.
Capt. Cave Man, I'm a lot like you. I'm 45, and eat usually one meal a day at lunch, sometimes I'll have some cereal in the morning to make two meals a day. I find that I usually feel full after lunch and my body doesn't really feel like eating anymore afterward. I try to keep some fruit on hand for a light snack later in the evening. I do drink a lot of coffee (cream & sugar) and the occasional latte.
This would be quite interesting as a poll actually, divided between men and women. I know quite a few men who miss lunch and I can't understand how - I'm always starving by lunch time (so I'm with you LaceyEx)! I have a good breakfast (either cereal, porridge or fruit) then something to keep me going mid morning (sometimes good, sometimes not so good), then lunch, then dinner at about 6-7pm. Often something mid afternoon too. So that's either 3 or 5 depending on how you look at it.
Usually during the week I have coffee and yogurt for breakfast. I haven't really been eating lunch lately because my lunch at work is at 10.23 - 10.47, which is too early for me.....
So I have a snack when I get home from work around 3.30 (carrots and hummus, pretzels, chips and salsa, fruit, etc.) and then dinner around 6 or 6.30
On the weekends, we usually do a big breakfast, graze all day and then have dinner Although last weekend we grilled steaks from lunch!!
I am really bad, no breakfast here. I usually eat an early lunch then dinner. Not much of a snacker either.
