Burrrp...not often. Just a few...burrrrp...times a day.
Re: How many times a day do you eat?
But I come across far too many people who think eating only once a day is perfectly normal and anything more than that is too much--no matter what I find this extremely hard to believe that that is healthy!
You're right. That's an extreme view and I hope you're not following it. Because depriving yourself of food then causes you to overeat and pile on the calories when you do give into temptation. Plus how do you get your nutritional needs met if you only eat once a day? It doesn't provide enough energy...and then that affects other things as well like your hair and your skin, etc.
Some say eat three meals a day...some say six. I have friend who has three kids...and she's very slim. She eats frequently during the day...but small portions. You can limit the amount of junk food you eat...or have smaller portions. And stay active...exercise regularly.
I had some french fries, some cookies....and now I'm gonna have lunch....but I'll work it off on my bike later on. :D
Re: How many times a day do you eat?
My eating schedules vary and depends upon my work schedule. But i have breakfast every morning and dinner as well. At lunch i probably take chicken salad or sandwich or something. And lets say if i am working late or end up staying late then yes...Tim hortons soup all the way!
Re: How many times a day do you eat?
Ive been lucky weight wise and tend to eat what I want when I want although I make sure portions are small....
but now,I feel hungry all the time and my portion size has increased ..:(
but still I eat what I want when I want generally every two hours...
Re: How many times a day do you eat?
Sara, eating once a day might work if one's not exercising enough. However, I think it has long term repercussions. If we think beyond weight loss, there are potentially other dangerous risks associated with not letting the body get the nutrition in the correct manner.
Re: How many times a day do you eat?

Re: How many times a day do you eat?
Having one meal only is not good for health and may lead to health problems (and that includes heart problems). I can only take two meals per day with light snacks.

Re: How many times a day do you eat?
The 5-6 times are smaller portions, not desi sized meals :p
And it does work, you are less likely to overload your body with calories and you have energy throughout the day. The people who say they eat only three meals are either eating big meals or eating snacks between meals.
If you work out with heavy weights and explosive type cardio (sprints, plyometrics etc), you will be ravenous the next day and your three meals would have to be massive, which would leave you lethargic after eating. After a hard workout I've spent entire nights just eating every hour or so and it feels like the food is going into a black hole. I've also actually woken up in the middle of the night absolutely starving, and having to get out and eat some bread just to make my stomach shut up.
5-6 meals is recommended because it works but it isn't convenient and you don't get that "full" feeling which is so awesome :)
