Spacing Meals/Snacks

  • How far apart should I plan my meals and snacks? If I go by when I am hungry, I would only eat 1-2 times a day. Please help!
  • The guidelines is every two - three hours, so your blood sugar won't dropped, and so you won't become more hungry and be ready to eat anything in sight. I follow the food plan : breakfast, 2-3 later snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and snack and I am done for the day!
  • I eat every 2-3 hours it helps you not overeat and stay in control
  • Thanks!!
  • this is my general schedule. While its not ideal, it does fit into my schedule day. (I'm a teacher.)

    6:30ish - breakfast
    10:00 - snack
    11:50 - Lunch
    2:30 - snack
    5:30ish - dinner
    8:00 - herbal tea
  • Thanks, I pretty much have it down now.

    8:30 Breakfast
    10:30 Snack
    1:00 Lunch
    3:00 Snack
    5:30 Dinner
    8:30 Snack/Dessert
    11:00 Try to be in bed by this time!

    That's a lot of eating but I did pretty good today getting it all in. I think I will have to start going to bed earlier to fit my eating schedule.
