meals?

how many meals does everyone eat and what do they eat? people always get so surprised when i tell them i eat 4-6 meals a day, but they're small and it's a better way to eat (i think). i never get hungry and don't have any weight problems - i actually lost weight since starting this. just curious if i am the only weirdo out there who does this.

average day:

*1c cereal with 1/2c milk

*1/2c yogurt w/ an orange or 1/2 peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an orange

*1c cereal 1/2c milk or package of oatmeal

*whatever fh makes, usually salad or a stirfry. sometimes quesadillas or black beans and brown rice. when we haven't gone shopping in a while, a sandwich

i occasionally have snacks like fruit of nuts mixed in, or some goldfsh crackers (heh, work has them and they can be tempting). when i'm pms-ing all this goes to he|| and is replaced by chocolate.

That's actually what they say you should do if you want to lose weight. It keeps your metabolism going.

I hate that... that's what gets me so annoyed!

I eat a few meals a day. Usually two breakfasts, two lunches..but something small like a piece of toast with some lowfat cream cheese and jelly, then a few hrs later a hard boiled egg or a soon of peanut butter.

For lunch some soup..then a few hrs later a yogurt and some fruit.

Before dinner some hummus and lowfat triscuits. Dinner is always a challenge though.

I agree..I never feel starving unless I don't follow this rule.

I usually eat about 6 times a day... a typical day like today is:

2 egg/oatmeal pancakes with blueberries and cup of green tea.

1 yogurt and 1 serving cottage cheese

Grilled chicken, small salad with mandarin oranges, red onions, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Unsweetened Iced tea.

1 apple and a string cheese

Grilled Pork chop, small salad, mini corn on the cob, green beans

Homemade Berry Smoothie

I aim to have an equal portion of protein and carbs at each meal... obviously this is not something that I am hard and fast about, but I make the effort. I also drink a Sh*tload of water. I love the stuff.
