I'm 6 months out and I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and usually one or two snacks. For me a snack is a piece of string cheese, a hard boiled egg or maybe 1/2 of a greek yogurt. Also breakfast is usually a protein shake.

I am not a grazer. I eat six times most days. I do not consider that grazing. I do not nibble all day long, I sit down and eat a planned meal or snack.

If I only ate three times a day I would get hungry and cranky. I would not get enough calories or protein. My blood sugar would also crash often and I would feel very ill.

I eat planned meals about 6 times a day. I'd be one cranky chick if I didn't eat that often.

I eat six planned times a day as well. I can't eat enough three times a day to get in the nutrition, calories and protein I need. Plus, I have a really sensitive pouch so I have to keep the amounts at a sitting extra small.

I eat maybe 5 or 6 times a day. A few good size meals and then a couple snacks.
