Do you eat only when you are hungry or only because it is the meal time?

Question

I eat when I am hungry most of the time.

Answer 1

I eat when it's meal time, regardless if I'm hungry. If I wait until I'm hungry I would probably over indulge and that is how most people end fat.

Answer 2

I used to eat just supper (dinner) but then I would snack in the evenings. I was putting on some weight. Then after my open heart by-pass surgery in July 2006, I just was not hungry anymore. I got where I could not eat meat of any kind. I have now started to be able to tolerate meat again, but in small doses. Anyway, since my by-passes, I still just eat supper (dinner), I eat small portions, then I hardly ever have evening snacks. If I do snack, it will be a Popsicle or some popcorn. ..nothing too heavy. I feel so much better now. :o)

Answer 3

I eat whenever I'm hungry. Meal times mean nothing to me.

Answer 4

We have young kids so we try to stick to a schedule. However, at those times I only eat a bit if I'm not that hungry. We encourge our kids to do the same. Only eat what you need...schedule or not. We don't believe in force-feeding because of the clock or in denying ourselves or our kids food just because it's not "supper time". Being anal about food is why many people develop eating disorders.
Been there.
