4 YEARS OUT ~ How Often Do YOU Eat??
I guess if you get too many calories, then it's too often.
I eat about six times a day. Sometimes seven, lately.

I'll be four years out this Sunday. How often I eat often depends on WHAT I eat. If I eat a good, solid protein meal (for instance, 4-5 oz. of lean protein such as chicken or fish + a veggie for fiber), I eat about every 3-4 hours. If I eat starchy foods or try to do the soup thing I get hungry faster.
These days if I get hungry and want to make sure not to snack on the wrong thing I'll grab a protein shake. That holds me for a loooooong time.

I eat at least 6 times a day, usually more. I need to eat every 2-3 hours due to hypoglycemia issues (2 hours is best). A typical day looks like this:
8:30 AM - greek yogurt
10:30 AM - apple & half protein bar
12:30 PM - Lean Cuisine
2:30 PM - Cottage cheese
3:30 PM - raw veggies & other half of protein bar
6:00 PM - dinner (whatever is on the menu for that night)
If I'm still hungry, I'll have a snack around 8:00-8:30 before bed. Sometimes a bit of ice cream. Sometimes some nuts. Sometimes a small protein shake. Sometimes some popcorn. But as you can see, I feel like I'm always eating! But if I don't eat, I get shaky and sweaty and lightheaded like nobody's business.
