Do you snack in between meals? Do you have 4-5 small meals throughout the day? Or, do you just have 3 meals a day?

I snack in between meals, the Dr told me this has fasten my metabolism

I usually eat 7-8 times per day, about 2 hours apart. I have eaten with this frequency since I finished the food stages after my surgery. It has served me very well.

We are told to have three meals and three snacks....and it should all balance out to 1000-1200 calories per day and 60-80grams of protein.

So, six times a day, I eat about 150-200 calories.

I'm never hungry...it's a lot of food:)

As our stomachs stretch a bit and can tolerate a larger meal months down the road, we'll decrease snacks to 100 calories, and up meals to 300 calories.

Eventually, we may eliminate snacks.

I try to space my food to 7 am, 10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 7 pm if I can... 7 am is always hot tea... 1 pm and 4 pm are meals... 10 am and 7 pm are snacks... and no matter WHAT happens I ALWAYS follow 3 rules: NO food after 8 pm... a bottle of water between 7:30 and when I go to bed (usually i go to bed at 9 pm)... and a minimum of 3 more bottles of water spaced throughout the day
