I keep to my three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Meanwhile, I am constantly seeing people munching away on dehydrated fruit bits, protein this or that, fiber supplemented cookies, etc, to the point they overlook proper meals.

Did I miss a memo?

      I’m not going to disagree with you on that remark. I pay attention to the supermarket shelves and it does seem a lot of snacks are taking room previously available to basic food items.

      Protein bars, protein powders, granolas, dehydrated this and that, nut mixes, etc.

      The real food is going. Somewhere. I can feed myself out of this, in a pinch, but I hardly consider it food.

            This is really about fat shaming, isn’t it?

            Your other comments give it away.

            Grazing is not a fat person’s habit. It’s just different. As long as a person is getting the right mix of micro and macronutrients and meeting their caloric goals for the day, it shouldn’t matter.

                  Nothing. But what you raised was bound to become a concern to someone at some point in the conversation.

                    My own anecdotal observation tells me the “grazer” (not a word I enjoy using) tends to put on a lot of weight. That constant eating is putting unnecessary calories into the body, regardless they eating “healthy” snacks.

                    Grazing sounds like a sure way to gain weight and fast.

                    And I have to wonder if not allowing the digestion to run to its course before eating more won’t cause ill effects.

                    YOU raised the concern.
