i only eat once a day, post workout meal (about 7 or 8 o'clock). I love it.

By the way, are you from carrickfergus, Northern Ireland?

I usually eat when I'm hungry, so it depends. Most of the time I snack a bit throughout the day and have a nice dinner in the evening or at night (sometimes as late as 9-10pm so I can eat with the boyfriend). Snacking on nuts or veggies keeps me from overeating once dinner rolls around and keeps me happy throughout the day.

Basically, I try not to obsess about if I'm eating at the right times or eating enough meals. As long as I am eating well I tend to feel pretty good.

Sabre, I'm curious, how many calories are you taking in most days ?
And what physical activities do you do ?
Thanks

I was eating twice a day until I started trying to put on a little weight. It's just too hard for me to get 3500 calories in two meals.

I eat 1 meal per day on weekdays
2 to 3 meals on the weekends
I don't ever snack
I originally started doing this after reading one of the IFing threads that talked about how our bodies don't function well on eating 3+ meals a day. Since I was feeling so exhausted after eating, it made sense. If I only eat after work then I can relax after I ate and it wouldn't matter if I was feeling exhausted. When I was at work and ate breakfast and lunch it would take hours to feel my energy come back if it ever did. Now I have way more energy while at work and I feel like my brain is in the game more.
I will do an occasional 48 hr (once every other week or so) fast too just to keep the weight loss moving.
I usually stay between 1200 to 1400 cal per day (still 90/10 primal)
Somedays I go as high as 1800 but it's usually on my weekends when I am at a Football game or with friends and can't say no to pulled pork or beef brisket.

Dinner only though the week (800-1200cal), weekends 2 most the time but once in a while 3.
