Due to some complications, that rule has been temporarily suspended for me. Once they get those fixed, I'm to go to 3 meals, with scheduled snacks. Even now I'm food journaling, including times and everything.

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
Meal 1 - 200 cals
Meal 2 - 150 cals
Meal 3 - 300 cals
Meal 4 - 150 cals
Meal 5 - 200 cals
That's five meals with different caloric weights assigned to them. The two 150 calorie meals would feel like snacks because they're bound to be either a) lighter fare or b) smaller in quantity, but it is all getting you toward your daily goal of 1000 calories.
And with 5 meals, who has the capacity to graze (raises hand...runs away)
Seriously though. When I have at least 5 meals planned I don't tend to graze. By the time I get hungry it's time for my next meal.

1. No snacks but we want you at X calories per day - well as long as I am eating a well balanced, high protein diet within my caloric target, why does that matter?
2. Eat all your proteins first, veggies second, carbs third...- Sorry, that crap doesn't work. Leads to not eating veggies/carbs and that can lead to bad things. I mix up my protein/veggies/carbs to get balanced meals
Anyhoo...
I eat like 5 times a day to get in 1100 calories. Some days (like today which is a "big pouch" day for me) that's easy. Some days I have to add an extra meal in there to get what I need.
Nut's mean well but I think this is off base. Most experts recommend that even "McPeople" (the normal stomached population) eat small meals 3-5 times a day.
