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 tend to eat the way you do; 3 meals a day with limited snacking. I eat this way because it helps me manage my migraine issues and snacking too much will cause weight gain, which (for me) causes bad back and knee pain. I used to snack more when I had a very physically demanding job. I’m a healthy weight.
My partner naturally fasts between 9pm-12pm every day. He eats a good size lunch, big dinner, and a good amount of usually healthier snacks. It works for him, I could never eat that way because I wouldn’t be able to afford the migraine medication that would go with it, but he does not have that problem. He’s a healthy weight.
I have a couple of friends who are more 1 meal a day with healthy snacking throughout the rest of the day. They are healthy weights and it seems to work for them.
Everyone is different and if it works for someone, I say have at it!
I eat just like your partner! It’s hard for me to stomach breakfast, so I do two bigger meals at lunch and dinner and healthy snacks in between.
It’s so fascinating how different people are!
lol I’d go crazy eating the way two eat. It would be constant migraines all day every day. He doesn’t eat much by way of breakfast either for the same reason, his stomach gets upset. Once in a while, he suggests going out to breakfast on the weekend and I always jump at that chance lol
Folks are all kinds of different!
