Question of the Day, Wednesday, July 19, 2023

[neely]

Good afternoon and Happy Whiskers Wednesday! Sorry, I usually try to post a question earlier but I've been on the go since early this morning. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast and had to snarf down a late lunch. If I skip a meal I start to get a pounding headache. So easy question for today.

HOW MANY MEALS DO YOU HAVE A DAY?

I almost always have three meals and often a small snack. DH usually has only two meals but I've encouraged him to eat something at lunch even if it's a piece of fruit, yogurt or a granola bar.

Three, always. Likely to have a snack bet lunch and dinner and sometimes after I go to bed if I'm still awake late.

 

[misty8723]

I pretty much snack all day, no formal meals.

 

[allmykitties]

Three. It's part of my diet plan (three scheduled meals, no skipping).

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I would say I average 2.5 meals. Some days I have 3, some days I only have 2. Rarely I will only have 1 and that usually only happens when I lose track of time.

I'm not really a breakfast person so I will say 2.On a rare or special occasion I will have a toasted bagel with all the trimmings I can get my hands on for breakfast,but not often.

 

[iPappy]

Usually one. If I'm done at work early enough, it's two.

 

[DreamerRose]

Two to three. Sometimes I'm not hungry and want to skip a meal, but with diabetes, I run the risk of a low sugar episode, so I have to eat something.

2 .... im trying to lose some weight

This!!!

Usually only one actual meal. I will have a couple of snacks or small meals as well. They will be something like peanut butter on a slice of Dave's Killer Bread, a piece of fruit or a smoothie made with plain Greek yogurt, almond milk and frozen fruit. I have done well the last few months staying away from the sugary empty calories, actually gotten to the point of not really missing them.

3 start with a solid breakfast , light lunch and a good dinner maybe a snack before sleeping

Sometimes I'm not hungry and want to skip a meal, but with diabetes, I run the risk of a low sugar episode, so I have to eat something.

Although not Diabetes I can relate since I start to get a headache if I don't eat every 4-6 hours.

 

[cassiopea]

3 meals, lest I perish!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Three with an occasional snack if I don’t choose the right foods for a meal. I’m learning that choosing the things that sustain me lead to less overeating overall.

 

[Winchester]

Usually just dinner, although we may grab a few pretzels or something for lunch. So just one meal.

 

[Lari]

Three. And sometimes snacks.

 

[sivyaleah]

Three, don't tend to snack in between.

 

[kashmir64]

In the winter, usually 2-3 with little snacking
Summer...Only 1 small meal with no snacking and then usually after 9pm. Not trying to lose weight, but the heat totally zaps your hunger.
