Do you eat regularly or do you eat when you feel like it?

I will usually try and eat my regular meals, and at regular times too. In between, I try not to snack as this may cause me to overeat unnecessarily. I've never had any gastric problems due to irregular eating, and I intend to keep it that way. Some people eat all the time whenever their stomachs call, while some skip meals or eat at irregular hours due to their busy schedule or other priorities that occupy their time. Scientists have found from studies that overweight people have the worst eating habits. They skip meals, eat irregularly and when they come home, they overeat during dinner. Skipping meals puts one's body into starvation mode that slows one's metabolism. That's why if someone usually skips meals, it makes it difficult for him/her to stay slim. That's why I think it is best to eat regularly and not skip any meals.

I eat when i feel like it...gosh I'm largely an emotional eater...ohhh oh

I am very particular and consistent in my eating habits.I take my break fast at 8.30 AM.And I take some snakes or oats at 11.30 AM.And 1.30 is my lunch time.Evening coffee with snacks at % P.M And my dinner is at 9 pm.And after that it is my TV time with my milk and fruits.If I take snacks in between I reduce my regular intakes.

i do eat regularly and try not eat erratically.otherwise my kids will also skip meals,which i beleive is not healthy.i beleive in the saying PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.

I am both regular and irregular. I can't say that my dinnertime is at a particular time but when I wake up (whenever that is) I eat breakfast... after that I eat lunch and then after that I eat dinner. My wife is the one who fixes the food in the house so I eat when she is ready to serve the dinner. Great discussion Zelo

I'm pretty unscheduled about eating. Im basically a "grazer." When I'm very involved with something, I ignore my hunger for quite awhile. If I was working, I'm sure meals would be more scheduled.

I am always eating! I snack too much, and I love my food! It's not addiction it's just that I'm active and I tend to get hungry quick. I munch on fruit rather that chocolate, cakes and biscuits so that's why I'm not heavy! I like lots of small meals and snacks rather than big meals to keep me satisfied. I also go out for long walks too which gives me a good appetite. Anytime of the day for me is good to eat.

I usually eat whenever hunger sets in. I dont wait for lunch or dinner time. I eat when I want. But that is gonna have to change soon. As my daughter is almost at that age where I have to start cooking breakfast and lunch and dinner. So then at that point I will probably wait till its time to eat or find a snack to curve my hunger for a bit.

We have our regular meals at our regular times, but we do snack in between. Usually it may be a banana, apple, some cereal, or in the evening, I will have some yogurt with nuts and berries. I try to avoid making cakes because that will be a snack between lunch and dinner. I am rather like a grazer. If there is something to eat, I will find it. I cannot stand being hungry.

I eat whenever i feel like eating i mean whenever i am hungry except in nights often when i wake ifell i am hungry but thats the only time when i do not eat

I have regular breakfast and as for the rest of my meal I'll eat when I feel like eating or when I'm hungry.

Hi friend,actually I eat regularly everyday.Nowdays I'm pregnant so if I feel hunger I must eat food can indulge my stomach.I fear about my baby.I think if I hunger my baby also same hunger.so I'm force take a meal.

I usually eat on the proper time since I really don't like to eat when I am not hungry. Usually my breakfast time is 6am and lunch time is 12 noon. Dinner comes in around 7pm

In our family we eat meals at regular time. By doing this, it helps to regulate your metabolism. If our schedule is chaotic or someone is hungry before our regular meal time, we keep small, healthy snacks on hand such as cheese or grapes. good question Laisydaisy

I ususally eat when i feel hungry, but i eat small little snacks all through the day and then eat at lunch with my daughter and if i'm babysitting the little girl i babysit as well. When it was just me i would eat just whenever if i wasn't working, when you work i guess you gotta eat when they provide you with the time. lol.

I prefer eating on regular intervals and on fixed times. I prefer having my breakfast between 8.30 a.m. and 9.00 a.m. in the morning, lunch between 1300 hrs to 1400 hrs and dinner between 2000 hrs to 2030 hrs. I try not to eat snacks etc. in between.

I pretty much eat when I feel like it. I don't have any set time for making meals or snacking. I have tried to be more consistent about making dinner and having it at a decent hour now that my son is living with me. I think routine even for meals is important for someone his age.

This is the one problem that I have that I really need to start working on- I NEVER eat regularly. I eat when the feeling arises- so sometimes I don't eat until 1 or 2 pm in the day- which I know can't be very good for me. I want to start eating breakfast- but never have an appetite in the mornings :(

I eat breakfast when I get around to it however I'll cook supper around 5:30 and 6:30. We don't go to bed till after midnight so we get the munchies so we'll snack on potato chips or cookies.

well i'm also one of those that eat when hunger sets in. i tend to snack a lot. i usually can't hold for that long when i'm hungry so i'll find something to satisfy my hubger. i think it may partly be because of me eating all the snacks that i tend not to like lunch and meal times that well. i mean i eat rice and all during those times so i don't really like to eat them. i do like to eat bread though.
