I tend to only eat one meal aday and that is in the evening,i think it is because i drink coffee all day and i think it is me drinking all that so which makes me not hungry.What about you how many times do you eat a day?The other reason is that i am soo busy i do not even think about meal times.

Usually I just have three meals in a day. They are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes I will have a night snack but it is not so often. When I am very hungry at night suddenly, then I may go out to have the night snack. I love China

It all depends on what the day offers. If i'm sad or alone,i can even eat more than expected. But in any case,i try to eat whenever i'm hungry.

Wow..only one meal a day...I think you are very slim, rite? I eat at least 3 times a day for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think may be due to my confinement period, I have been trained to eat bigger portion and now gaining weight. Planning to change my eating habit. I read an article said that eating more at least 5 to 6 times a day with breakfast, middle healthy snack, lunch, tea time and dinner will not only will lose weight but also stay good health. But of cos is healthy snack and smaller portion but more times. Don't wait till main meal come. I think I will try this plan and see the result..haha

You sound like my husband he can go all day with out eating sometimes and then he will eat a huge dinner. I call him a camel as he eats all at once and lives off of it for for several hours. I am very different. I eat about 6 times a day. Not full meals, but I usually have a small snack in the morning and small snack in between lunch and dinner because there is a large length of time between the two. My husband and I drive each other nuts on vacations. He wants to keep driving and I want to stop and eat lunch and dinner, usually we get breakfast at a hotel if we are on a long drive, or we eat it in the car. The kids also want to eat. Sometimes we compromise and we will through a drive thru and eat the meal in the car as he is driving. He is always in a big rush to get where ever we are going and I would enjoy stopping and smelling the roses.

As much as possible, three times – the normal meals to have in one day. A year ago, I landed on a night shift job. So I have to adjust my body clock as well as my meals. In 24hours, one meal is enough because I completely lose my appetite. And I lose weight, lots of weight of course. Now that I’m transferred to day shift, I’m trying hard to get back to my normal weight and shape. If possible, I’ll have more than three meals a day.

I would say I am a food person. I don't even know how many times I eat each day. Haha. Sometimes I would eat too much and sometimes I won't, especially when I am busy or when I have classes to attend to. I don't really eat big meals but usually I eat snacks, which depends on my mood. My friends even tell me that I eat fast, and they know how much I like eating. Haha. Have a good day!

Is that true drinking coffee will not make you hungry? I drink coffee too at home during weekend 3 times a day and even if I am in the office but I still feel hungry. About my eating, I regularly eat 3 meal a day. At night I do not take heavy meal, I do not eat rice at night. I have a soup and some meat or vegetable with no rice. I don't want to feel full because it makes me difficulty to breathe and I observed that my metabolism is slow, the food about the digest can't digest faster. I eat heavy during lunch because I needed energy for work and for whole day and I eat less during breakfast, sometimes I only have coffee during breakfast.

I eat three meals a day, mostly. On some Saturdays though, I would wake up really late, so I just get brunch instead and end up just having 2 meals instead of 3 for the day. Also, I don't snack, so I need my regular meals!

I usually took a few meals a day but due to the increase in weight, I have to forfeit that and now go on a diet. However, by doing a diet, I still take the same number of meals a day but just a reduced of amount. it proves to be useful as I lost a huge sum of weight after a month. The best part is, I could eat 6 times a day, morning, before lunch, lunch, tea, dinner and supper.

I am same way i drink coffee around 3-4 cups a day. I dont eat except once a day at dinner. Been living my life that way for so many years it has taken a tole on me. Recently i havnt been able to have as much caffine. I have trouble losing a couple pounds i want to lose. I have heard that if you dont eat you will actually gain weight. I have been tryin to change my eating habits.

I am very heavy and weigh 380 pounds. I have my 9 McDonalds snack wraps extra crispy with a few big macs thrown in. I like my devil dogs diped in batter. I have my ice cubes in my soda look like assanated presedents. As a snack I munch on puffed lard. I raise my own lambs and slaughter them by sitting on them. I have a good life and maybe one day i'll get in Gunuiss world record book. If you want to be happy and healthly like me follow these diet tips.

Yesterday, I stayed all day at the university and I only drank coffe during the afternoon. The thing is I didn't feel like I was starving or something like that. Apparently I can stand eating just once big meal during the day but I eat 3 times generally a day

I eat 3 times a day, breakfast,lunch and dinner. There are times when I eat some snacks especially when my kids are home. They always want to have afternoon snacks so I tend to eat myself.

I eat a big breakfast every morning, and then i eat a small meal every 2 or 3 hours all day long. It helps to keep my energy level up, and it also helps to keep my sugar at a even level. They all say that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it should be your biggest meal of the day.

I always had 3 meals with tea in between but since the last few months I skip Dinner with just a soup and glass of hot milk and this has helped me reduce weight. Eating dinner is the culprit for that extra baggage we carry around as there is no exercise or exertion after dinner.
