I eat 5 times a day. Breakfast, lunch, teatime , dinner and supper. Although I eat so many meals, I don't put on weight at all, in fact I'm underweight.

I am diabetic so I eat many small meals a day. When I get up, and usually every 3-4 hours for the rest of the day. I do eat a bigger dinner and a small snack before bed.

I eat probably 4 - 6 times a day, including the snacks. Now, I'm hungry again. Thanks for reminding me.

Depends on how hungry I am. Usually two, with snacks in between. I actually saw something on the news the other night about how Americans eat bigger portions then they're supposed to. They think it's the right amount simply because it's what is given to them. Really, portions should be much smaller. People tell me I don't eat enough, but no, I think I'm doing it right.

3 times of course - breakfast, lunch and dinner. And 2 in between meals (snacks). I am not weight conscious. I am too thin.

I snack a lot so probably 5 or 6 times a day. They're all pretty small meals though. It's better for your digestion and metabolism to eat more smaller meals and not 2 or 3 big ones.

Our bodies function better if we small amounts more frequently, about every three to four hours. There is no need to eat whopping big meals, especially at night. Two meals a day is not enough, because blood sugar levels peak and fall too drastically. You want to keep insulin levels fairly even as best you can. If you do this, your weight will level out, and you will feel better.

I usually eat twice a day. I have a last breakfast and then dinner around 6. I don't snack during the day because there is nothing to munch on. But, saying that, I am generally just too busy to worry about eating something. If I have lunch it may be only a bagel.
