Do you have the traditional 3 meals a day or not?

I no longer eat breakfast anymore so I can maintain my weight. I want to get down to 170 lbs (currently at 188 lbs). I didn't eat breakfast when I was younger either. I feel like 3 meals a day is too much. I mainly just eat twice a day and I've completely sworn off snacking.
 
I eat 3 meals a day. I used to have an eating disorder when I was a teenager and now I can't skip meals or I feel as if I'm back in that mode of starvation. I don't want to go back to that type of mindset.
 
I try for the 3 meals but if I have a big breakfast I class it as brunch.
 
I typically will have all three meals and snacks in between. On my days off I'll have a bigger breakfast but before work I usually just drink a Carnation Breakfast Essentials.
 
I’ve never cared for breakfast, or the typical breakfast food. Eating bacon or whatever just makes me sluggish. On my days off, I’ll usually have two meals a day. Lunch and dinner. On the days I work, I typically just eat dinner.
 
I'm trying to get back to a proper meal schedule, because I've thrown myself so far off. Right now I don't usually eat until about 7:30pm, and that's it. One meal and then some snacking ( :blush: ) into the late hours of the night. I'm doing myself no favours that way, so I want to completely switch my diet around, back to how I used to eat (the typical diabetic schedule I was taught was breakfast, snack 2 hours later, lunch, snack 2 hours later, dinner, snack two hours later, supper -- eat small meals plus a small snack early and often and you will never feel hungry and keep your metabolism working).
 
I usually just eat when I'm hungry...I used to eat everytime I felt empty. Like I needed something to fill that space in.
 
I intermittent fast so don't eat a good 13 hours overnight. I was never a breakfast eater. Mine is more "brunch". Then I eat dinner with my husband. I may have a few healthy snacks in between if I'm hungry.
 
I tend to have very small meals, breakfast and dinner, that's all I have and need 🙂

Keep it small and simple and not going overboard. Even when I feel hungry it's me saying it not my stomach. Yet my stomach does arghhh allot
 
I've always leaned towards two meals a day. It's the only way I can maintain a healthy weight.
