I have to eat on a schedule. I never feel hunger.

Lucky s...t.

I eat when I'm hungry, but I tend to stick to 3 meals a day. That's what my NUT told me to do. I'll have a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese between meals if I feel hunger.

I don't get hungry and generally have no appetite, so I eat breakfast first thing when I wake up, snack around 10, lunch at noon, snack at 3, supper at 6, and snack at 9 -- BUT I just finished my liquids phase, so depending on how solid foods go I might cut out my morning snack, but I very much eat on a schedule!

I was told to do 6 small meals a day - about every 2 hours. I don't always get them in, but I usually get in 3 meals and 2 snacks. I don't feel hungry, so I set a timer on my phone when I finish eating so that I will realize when it's time to eat the next meal.

I eat 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks. 1 of my meals is my protein shake for breakfast, otherwise i don't get enough protein, that and i have never been a breakfast eater.

I keep seeing people post about meals& snacks, I'm pretty much thinking all my meals are snacks anymore. :)

How far out are you? For awhile you should eat every 2-3 hours. When you are farther out,, have three small meals, but have a snack in the morning and one in the afternoon. Don't eat a snack after dinneer, cuz if you eat late, you can get to much acid.
