I KNOW it is not healthy but I only eat once a day (twice at most) and I eat backwards... Dinner in the afternoon (when I wake up) and Oatmeal at night when I start working.
It has worked out for me pretty well so far.

Can't say I do... I get up in the middle of the day, if there is something I need to do I have a couple hours to do it then I have the house all to myself for the whole night. No TVs, no noise... just quiet. I like it that way.
Also in the summer (in Florida) it is a lot cooler to work at nighttime then it is during the heat of the day.

Too many times I lose count! I am always ravenous, no matter what I do whether I exercise heavily, or totally lounge around! I have always been a big eater, I love my food too much! I have lots of snacks inbetween when I am generally hungry but don't get me wrong I don't gorge or overeat, my body tells me I am hungry and I listen even if it's half a dozen time! I am happy with my figure and I could never diet. I find exercise far easier and more enjoyable. I also tend NOT to eat at night because that's where the damage comes when it lays on your stomach! I tend to eat a lot of fruit and snack on those.

I usually only eat one good wholesome meal per day but I do snack around alot throughout the day to make up for the loss of meals. My life is to hectic to sit down and enjoy more than one good meal, unfortunately.

I usually eat about three times a day. My husband wakes me up in the mornings with coffee and a nice breakast (usually very well prepared scrambled eggs with cheese and onions, just the way I like them), a snack of something light for lunch in the middle of the day that I usually make myself while he is at work, and then he cooks something amazingly wonderful for dinner.

I eat twice a day. Morning breakfast ha to be heavy and with that I kind of manage wit a little snacks in the afternoon. Again in the evening, at around 7-30 I eat a square meal. I have cut down a lot on junkies lately. No choc'lates,no soft drinks, no ice creams - I wish I could do that Bala!
Ideally it should be like this:
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. But our job profile hardly allows us to do that and ofcourse we do not have that much of self motivation.

Yes I can understand.We wish to do so many things so perfectly.But as you say the job schedule becomes the priority.Any how I like your eating style.Especially that heavy breakfast.Very wise decision as you need that fuel
for the day.A girl in the medical field need not be elaborated more I think.Take care.

I always eat breakfast. To me that is the best meal of the day. I usually eat oatmeal with applesauce in it. Taste great. On the other meals it varies from day to day. I generally try to eat lunch and than supper just a very light something. Not necessarily a meal.

I am suppose to eat three meals a day but with my shifting work schedule, it depends sometimes. Since I work in a midshift now, I am no longer able to eat breakfast because I would be sleeping in the morning. Of course, I always eat dinner. I do not go to bed in an empty stomach. Aside from the meals, I also have snacks in between. But personally, I am more into sleeping than eating. I really have to have a complete sleep hours to be able to function well. The good thing is I have a fast metabolism. I'm those lucky people who can eat anything they want but not get fat. LOL

I don't count the times I eat in the day. :P
I never really have meals, just a few healthy mini-meals through out the day.
