Breakfast, two small lunches (or snacks), and dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013617 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:23:03 +0000 autumnlove 2013617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Ya, I'm headed to TJs later today. I don't want to get bored since I have 32ish weeks left of eating like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013569 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:58:24 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2013569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat breakfast/lunch/dinner and an afternoon snack. Occasionally a dessert at night but maybe only once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013558 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:56:09 +0000 lamariniere 2013558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 meals and 2 snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013549 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:52:27 +0000 blackbird 2013549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: haha! Anywhere between 11-1 is "lunch" for this gal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013524 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:40:49 +0000 sarac 2013524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3. I couldn't do the many small meals thing, I'd never feel full. Even if I stuff my self at one meal, I'm still hungry again a few hours later. If I undereat, it's way worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013510 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:32:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 2013510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I aim to eat 5-6 times a day (roughly 8am-8pm), and not snack in between (I’m a grazer by nature and getting rid of snacking has been necessary to help me reach my weight goal). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013485 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:20:17 +0000 youboots 2013485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: well it's for a good cause :) this is my first time with GD. It's not as scary/awful as I thought it would be. Go wander through the isles at Trader Joes if you have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013479 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:16:56 +0000 autumnlove 2013479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: good old GD! :-) I just started eating like this last week....I had to do it for my last pregnancy but it is hard to get into the habit again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013478 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:16:25 +0000 youboots 2013478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I have GD I have to eat 6 times a day.</p> <p>I have been really liking the 100 cal Greek yogurts with a 1/4 oats first thing, a mandrin Orange as a snack and to get down my iron pill, cheese and crackers for lunch, cottage cheese with fresh pepper as a snack, a normal dinner and depending on how my sugars are a treat in the evenings.</p> <p>Pre packaged portions of trail mix from TJ are also a great item to have on hand.</p> <p>I have been keeping a food journal with everything I eat, so it's easy to go back and get ideas. I also drink 64 oz of water a day. Since I started this diet, I find that I am rarely hungry, and in 31 weeks pregnant and have gained 0 pounds over Christmas and New Years by lowering my carbs and upping protein (weight is not the point, but it's been an interesting side effect).</p> <p>What prompted you to make this change? If you need more ideas let me know :)</p> <p>ETA before I got pregnant I sometimes just drank coffee until noon. When I got pregnant I started eating regularly I but was eating way too many carbs (I'm looking at you Odwalla Strawberry c monster). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013470 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:14:27 +0000 CakeLady 2013470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat three not-too-big meals and three small snacks most days. I like to eat all the time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013461 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:11:43 +0000 .twist. 2013461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: what about elevenses? Comes after second breakfast. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013458 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:09:50 +0000 Synchronicity 2013458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually two - lunch and dinner. I'm not a breakfast person, so I generally only have (a gallon of) coffee in the morning. I am a snacker, though, so I eat in between lunch and dinner, and after dinner, too; I just don't count those as meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013455 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:08:51 +0000 blackbird 2013455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 5/6. Breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner....sometimes i want a snack before bed. Eating too big of meals makes me feel icky sitting at a desk all day, pregnant or not!</p> <p>Eating less frequently really hasn't been proven to boost your metabolism, anyways, so if you prefer 3 hearty meals, by all means, go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013454 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:08:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2013454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always eaten a lot of small meals thru the day - I get full quickly and then get hungry a few hours later</p> <p>breakfast<br /> snack<br /> lunch<br /> snack<br /> dinner<br /> snack</p> <p>so 6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013452 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:07:20 +0000 ValentineMommy 2013452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre pregnancy - maybe 2. </p> <p>Now that I'm pregnant - 5ish. It's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-do-you-eat-in-day#post-2013444 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:03:55 +0000 autumnlove 2013444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm aiming for 6 small meals but I hate eating so often! </p>
