Eating when hungry or when it is time to eat?

In a family set up it is always the time that decides when one must eat. Imagine eating when one feels hungry There will be confusion That poor microwave will be in use every time a member gets to the kitchen when they feel hungry The dining table will miss them too as they will either eat in front of the tv or in their own room eat and at the same time active on their mobile I believe in eating at the time specified and I do not find it an issue at all.

It's better to eat than to starve because it's not time yet

You are not asked to starve. What if the food is not ready when you are hungry?

@Emasburinong When you go for snacks then you will not be able to do justice to the food that will be waiting for you

I make it a point that I don't skip meals but I also love eating with others whether its time to eat or not.

I tend t eat when I'm hungry during the day but our dinner is usually at 6:30pm. i can see that it would be terribly confusing for a family if everyone ate when they were hungry.

I nibble too and yes but there are some households who have this habit of eating as and when they please.

I don't like eating alone unless I am the only one to eat. So, I just wait for others to join. I enjoy meal time with family.

I really think, eating at right time will keep you healthy... I don't eat when I have a craving or want to eat, instead I focus on routine....

Eating at the same time every day and with other members of the family is healthy

Mostly because it's time to eat, but I try to wait till I'm at least a little bit hungry.

If that does not disturb the rest I suppose it should be fine
