Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. I am so happy to hear I am not the only one! I think being active + eating such healthy foods = we all eat more often!

I am totally on the same page. Even with my boyfriend, he can go up to 12 hours without eating and then he will eat a huge meal at a restaurant with salad and most of my entree! There was a time when I was very unhealthy and could go for many many hours without eating. Now, if I go for more than 4, I get shaky, dizzy, and weak. But I do sometimes feel embarassed I need such constant fuel.

Good for you for staying fueled though!

I completely agree with you — my body has been trained to get hungry ever 3-4 hours, I swear!! And some days I’m even more ravenous than others. I think as long as everyone listens to their tummy and feeds it when it starts to grumble (haha, I sound like I’m three years old), then we’re all entitled to whatever eating schedule works best for us!

I’m the exact same. I eat all day long; my mum teases me at work all the time because between answering phones I’ll be munching on carrots or eating a sandwich or oatmeal… my tummy gets so grumbly if I don’t eat every few hours, or even if my tummy doesn’t do so, my energy goes swooping downwards.

Love food:)

I eat ALL day long too – sometimes my snacks are even too planned out and I eat out of habit (no good). I have noticed people like your friend – I think it has a lot to do with your habits. I have friends who only eat two meals a day – crazy!

Hey! I just stumbled onto your blog today, and I read your about me. I wanted to say that I really admire not only your health and fitness goals, but also the way in which you are achieving them! Congrats!

Thursdays are my FAVORITE day of the week as well, I think it’s because all of the “hype” leading into the weekend is here, have a great day!

24-27 hours – you’re funny!

Listen, I have come to realize I cannot compare what I eat to what others eat. Sometimes I am with people who could go all day without eating. Is that the best thing for me? Absolutely not. I used to think oh my god, I am such a pig, but now I just focus on myself and my own eating. Plus, you’re active and need fuel. Maybe your friend isn’t as active?

My body is constantly needing fuel now that I run so much. I don’t know how people can make a 6 hr car trip without any food. I do try to hold off my afternoon snack to the half way point of between lunch and dinner.

I’m the same. I don’t understand how people can skip breakfast, eat lunch, and then not eat again until dinner! My boss eats lunch and I NEVER see her snack, and she doesn’t eat breakfast! Crazy. Good article, too!
