How many times a day do you eat

[two_bit_score]

We were out to dinner last night and the topic came up. There were 3 people who were all on some type of diet. No carbs, all protein, no sugar etc... I was saying that I typically eat one meal a day, typically dinner. In the morning I'm never hungry..I have a couple cups of coffee before 9qm, then another one or 2 for lunch, by 4pm I'm hungry.

I’m all over the road now. Eat when I want to. But I was at my best weight and felt best when I ate a decent breakfast everyday, might have been a cereal and coffee or might have been scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, has browns and toast, then nothing until about 6pm and then just a light dinner most days. But I always ate one heavy meal a week heavy being protein. Steak, prime rib or salmon, etc.

I was very busy and just didn’t have time to eat during the workday. Same habit carried over to weekends and only one heavy meal every other weekend. I should go back to that routine.

I can honestly say that I haven't been hungry a day in my life. I enjoy the taste and texture of different foods and eat for pleasure most of the time. Not good for the waistline or health in general but I usually eat healthy.

How many times do I eat a day....

It depends. :laughing:

If I am going to work, I eat two eggs for breakfast and have a pretty big lunch where I try to eat some protein and lots of veggies. If it is Monday to Thursday, I do not eat dinner and no beer! :shocked: Friday to Sunday, I will eat dinner and I can have beer:thumbsup:

Monday through Thursday is intermittent fasting days which has allowed me to loose weight. At this point, I think I need to loose another five pounds, maybe, and once that is done, I don't know what I will do to STOP loosing weight. :confused3: I average 20,000 steps a day, which is about 10 miles and about 3300ish calories. I like the exercise and I don't want to cut back but I kinda like the fasting too. :confused3:

When not going to work, I have a big breakfast and I won't eat lunch. I might eat something for dinner but I am often not hungry even though I burned a bunch of calories. The diet is different this week because of the holiday. I was not really hungry last night but we had some left over pizza so I had two small pieces, some beer and then potatoes chips Just did not want to throw away the pizza. Can't stand to waste food but I should have just tossed it.

Hopefully tonight I won't be tempted to eat dinner. :laughing: Going to have too much to eat tomorrow....

Later,

I WAS GETTING A LITTLE HEFTY AFTER I RETIRED, SO I WENT ON A DIET. IT WAS OK, BUT I WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH FOOD. SO I STARTED ANOTHER DIET. BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, I GET ENOUGH TO EAT NOW.
WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY!!

Life is short but I want to make it last as long as I can within reason. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Ended up eating another two pieces of pizza that the kids would not eat. Needed to clean out the fridge for Thanksgiving and I hate to waste food. :drool: My weight was holding so I figured I could eat the pizza.

Thanksgiving was a pig fest. Well, the pig that gave us the ham might not have liked that term... :licking:

For Turkey Day, we had a light, or should I say lite, breakfast of an omelette with smoke salmon and some Feta cheese. Then there was dinner.

Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, Broccoli, mac & cheese, sweet potato casserole, gravy, and stuffing with sausage. I ate way too much. We have two pies to eat but nobody touched the pie. :shocked:

Breakfast today was 1.5 bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Not real hungry this morning for some reason. :confused3::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Should only eat twice today. Afraid to look at my weight....

^^Same here. I have to get control of the food thing and get more exercise and stay on the program. Problem is, the wife does the shopping and it blows the diet.....grrrr.

I never complain about my Wife's grocery shopping or cooking. If she asks, I answer politely. My Wife never complains about the way I mow the yard or how I service her car. If I ask, she answers politely. It's a deal we have.

Sounds like you got yourself an unstructured woman and a giver. Good for you.

I unfortunately don't do my lady friends diet any favours. She does spoon feed me the Greasy skin left behind on the baking pan from Shake and Bake Chicken. I'm pretty sure she knows I don't have a will.

She is overweight, and was just at the Doctor. He says, your bad colesterol level is good. Keep doing what your doing. What? Smoking, over eating, snacking, junk food, lack of excercise.

Funny, I never floss unless I get something caught in my teeth and the Dentist keeps telling me the same thing. To keep doing what I'm doing.
