HEAVILY depends on the day. Probably 1.5 on average
depends on the day, fridays I try to eat a lot and try for three, weekends are two, mon-thursday is one because I'm lazy
I eat three, but I guess with two snack-times combined it amounts to four meals/day.
continuous nomnomation
depends... Normally 2 or 3, sometimes just 1.
Definitely 4+:

First breakfast.
Second breakfast.
Lunch.
2pm snack.
Before dog-park snack.
Dinner.
Late night snack.

About three days into working from home during Covid my wife exclaimed, "All you do is eat!".

In my defense, I can't eat a lot of food at one time, so I spread it out over more meals. 🤷
I have a fruit smoothie and one large! I have zero appetite.
I guess it depends, if I'm training for running it's usually more. Typically two actual planned meals then a few snacks here and there
two most of the time, sometimes three
These are interesting results! I'm a solid 3 per day.
yes, I definitely wasn't expecting that high of a number for 2 meals a day.
Very interesting. I wonder if this reflects the relative affluence of people on Mastodon? What with cost-of-living crisis here in UK (not sure if it's happening elsewhere) many of us are lucky to have 1 a day. I've often wonder how well people suffering poverty are represented here.

I highly recommend Jack Monroe's recipes if anyone else struggling:

5x per day, every 2:30-3:00 hours. Small quantities (150g) protein-rich Mediterranean meals (beef jerky, tuna, shrimp, eggs, halloumi cheese, salmon, sardines, etc.). 🤤 No sugar, no fizzy drinks, no 'white foods' (pasta, rice, bread, etc.). Lots of water and tea. 1 espresso shot after dinner, a small serving of Port wine on the weekends. 🍷 🇵🇹
