It's been hard and difficult for Filipinos to buy food nowadays because all prices went up! Arrggh!! but I'm thankful that we still have food to eat...that we can still afford to buy our food and maintain our expenses. I still eat 3 times a day and have snack 3x a day too.lol is that too much? How about you? How many times/meals do you have for a day?

It really depends with me, as I have no set scedual. I don't have a normal one like the rest of my family (Sleep all night, wake up by 9 am), as I usually go to bed around 6 or 7 am. I've never been a morning person, and if I wake up that early I am tired all day. I usually try to eat 3 meals a day, it's the snack that vary, depending on when I get up and when I go to bed. Today though, I had ice cream for breakfast, as I woke up at 2pm, and went out shopping to get things to make dinner, and didn't eat before I left.

I usually have 5-6 small meals in a day as part of my regimen. But there are really times, I admit, that I only eat twice or even once a day just to lost more pounds quickly. It did and not only I lost weight, I lost strength. Now, I'm at a constant 4-5 meals a day so I'd be always full especially at work since I'm on the night shift and it really takes toll on my body. Take care.

I eat 3 times a day. In times like this, we have to priorities our needs. But we can not sacrife our health. So we can cut our budget on less necessities like clothing, but not on food. It is a blessing if we can have food in our table.

I think that is the perfect number of times to eat in a day! I do not always get that many meals and snacks, although I do try my best to make sure the kids do! Prices are going up everywhere! Why can't we go back to growing our own food? I think a lot of people are growing their own food and will be canning it this fall!

Things are expensive here also but I dont think I'll ever be that poor where I cant afford to buy food. I think I a grateful though becasue I would like to eat really healthier than I do now, but I am grateful at least that I have decent food to eat. I hope it will always be the case.

I think its too much. I am a filipino too and thankful also that my family can still afford 3x a day meals. anyway, I eat 3x a day, and just 1 snack a day. and if I get hungry fruits are available and I can eat it even though it is for my father. and also I stock chocolates in the refrigerator so I can eat sweets whenever I want to. Sweets doesnt make me feel hungry.
