You eat how often?!

My eating schedule is as follows:

7AM- Wake up, drink a cup of coffee with some kind of fruit. Head to work
1PM- Hour lunch break. Make a sandwich with chips or eat a bowl of cereal or two.
6:30PM - Dinner time. Will either cook something or eat out, depending on my mood.

I drink lots of liquids throughout the day since I'm always more thirsty than hungry. ;_;

I wish I had a fast metabolism... My metabolism is too fucking slow.

Usually just dinner, and sometimes a small lunch. Im so shit for time lately that dinner is just an excuse to wind down at the end of the day.

This doesn't mean that I don't snack every so often, but as far as big meals go I just get one.

Since my work schedule is completely random thanks to being employed in retail, I usually have two bigs meals before and after my shift, spending my lunch break ragging on management. On my off days I'll actually enjoy a full breakfast, then a light lunch and dinner to keep me going the rest of the day.

typically I'm eating one meal a day if I remember to even do that or my wife asks if I'm hungry. I've never been one who does a lot of eating on a regular basis, but on occasion I have been known to eat more than once a day (typically while on vacations).
And why the reason for not so many meals? I am a rather picky eater. There are many things that my wife likes to prepare that I cannot stand (and sometimes can't even stand being around when they are being prepared/cooked). So I'll duck outside for a bit until the aroma dissipates from the rooms and then go on doing whatever.
But in the interim I manage to have my beverages that keep me going day to day.

I usually have a drink of milk in the morning and then a light dinner. I think my metabolism is pretty fucked up because somehow that, combined with the fact that I walk everywhere and do some moderate exercise, seems to keep my weight just nicely maintained. Not only that but sometimes on days where I eat unhealthily and about three times as much as normal I actually lose weight, despite sitting around on my arse watching films or playing games.

As for fluids, I actually have a constant headache because I never feel thristy and so forget to drink something. I usually only drink when I'm feeling really parched.

I used to get really sick if I ate breakfast after sports practice, so I got into the habit of not eating any. Lunch if I have the time I'll grab something but I usually just graze on whatevers in the cupboard from when I get home till I get to sleep.

And water. Lots and lots of water. I only drink water unless I'm going out drinking with friends. Probably 7 or 8 litres a day. Never been a tea or coffee person.

As a musician, I'm lucky to get two meals a day. Especially this semester there have been many times when I might drink coffee and have some yogurt in the morning and then not eat anything until I get back to my apartment at 10 that night. It's terribly unhealthy, but oftentimes there's not much I can do about it.

I have Symphony rehearsal three days a week during "lunch time" (ie: 12 noon), so I pretty much don't eat lunch anymore. Usually I have to practice at the times when I would have an early dinner, but if there's somebody else around that hasn't eaten then I will get to eat out at about 7pm.

On the rare occasion that I have the luxury to cook myself something, I go all out. I'll make homemade mashed potatoes, chicken, spaghetti...you name it. That generally happens about 4 times a month .

I eat a decent meal once a day, maybe twice or none depending on how I'm feeling. I usually like to cook dinner, but since NOBODY ever does anything where ever I live I cook = I clean. It's fine with me, but sucks big time where "wheres dinner?" scenario kicks in. Thats when I don't eat, cause I just lose all motivation to do anything.

I vary anywhere from 1 meal a day to 7 tiny meals a day. Depends on what kind of day it is.
On a typical work day, it would be 2 small "snack" size meals and 2 big meals, lunch and dinner.

Usually i eat once a day + snacks at night. Don't have time in the morning for breakfast.

Also, i drink an energy drink and probably 2-3 diet cokes every day.

i DO eat three times, but i wouldn't say they're "square meals". it's more like: breakfast/lunch at 12-ish or 1, dinner at 9:15/9.30pm, then a snack/very small meal anywhere from 11pm-2/3am. yea i know, it's screwed up. :P

I have weird habits...sometimes I eat 3 meals a day...sometimes 2...sometimes 4 (the 4th one would occur at a really late time, like after midnight)...I know that the irregularity of my meals is not healthy...especially when I don't eat for 8 hours after having a poptart....

I eat when I'm hungry. I don't always eat breakfast, lunch, I grab whatever I can find. Somethin quick. Dinner, I eat a little bit of what we have. And ocassionaly i'll have like a handful of chips at night. If that even.

I usually eat lunch and supper. This is mainly because of the fact that I rarely get up early enough for breakfast. By the time I wake up its 11 to 11:30am...

Keeps me away from the Fruit Loops at least.

I currently have like three meals a day. But since I heard that it's better for your health and your body to have more meals (like three main meals and two or three smaller meals during the day), I will try to eat more regularly. I won't eat more, it's just that I will try to eat something every two or three hours. Not at night, of course, because that's when I sleep =D

I usually eat two meals a day. That mostly consists of Peas and a Biscuit or Butterbeans and a Biscuit. And Cheetos. Love some cheetos. ;p Lately though, I've barely been eating one meal. I haven't had much of an appetite after having my baby.

Generally when I have an income, I eat pretty regular. Breakfast, Middle of the day and a meal in the evening. I don't really have set times. If I'm gonna be up late, I have a later evening snack too. I find that once I get hungry I tend to be unable to function as well. However, when I have no income, I tend to only eat once a day to save on food. I get used to it once my stomach becomes accustomed. Luckily I might be getting a job today. So I'll be able to start eating properly.

It's a big meal, but nothing freakish. If you look at what an average person of my size consumes in a full day's meals versus my own, I don't eat nearly as much. Maybe slightly over a third of what they'd eat in one day.

Gechmir, I do the same, but mine probably approaches freakish, as I'm both tall and spend a lot of time with athletics. I'm also a slow eater. Between those 2 things and eating (dare I say) annoyingly healthy and well-prepared foods, it's nearly impossible to not remain trim while preserving lean muscle mass.

Four light meals a day.

Breakfast - Bagel and a Coffee

Brunch - Sandwich and a coffee

Lunch - I work at a korean restuarant so... Bogogi and water, seafood tofu soup and alot of water, bibim-bop and water. One or the other, I can't eat taht much in one sitting.

Dinner - instant ramen and what ever left overs my family leaves for me.

Guess the bogogi isn't that light, but i do need the energy to cope with having to bring meals all over the restuarant.

Stonebowls are heavy
