Well here in America, more than half of us are overweight. We tend to eat too much, and I'm no exception. I am trying to lose weight, but it is a struggle. So some American's probably stick to the 3 meal a day rule. Some though, like to eat 5 or so mini meals a day. So they can still maintain their weight, but that way they don't get hungry. I know also that many people recommend that way to lose weight as well. But I don't think that hunger is a bad thing to feel. I think maybe if we felt hungry more often we might not actually overeat as much. I think many of us forget what it feels like and end up eating more thinking we are hungry. (hope that made sense.)
Typical breakfast foods over here are eggs and bacon, or cereal with milk, or yogurt and fruit. All sorts of things actually. Lunch might be a sandwhich or fast food. Dinner is usually some sort of meat or fish, a vegetable, and a starch (rice, pasta, potatoes). We really have too many choices, which I think is another reason american's can get overwieght so easily.

Yeah, many of us do need to reduce our food intake, but it's not always so easy. I suffer from food addiction. Which kind of makes me feel stupid even saying it when there are people all over the world starving. But somewhere along the line I went from eating for health to eating for emotional reasons or boredom. So now it's not just a matter of trying to lose weight, but to break years of bad habits and to rewire my brain to think normally about food again.

It depends. Sometimes I eat three meals, most time I eat only two meals, brunch and supper. If I get up very early in the morning I will eat three meals.
