How can someone eat 3 meals a day and include all the food groups and till loose weight????
I don't see how that's possible. I eat 1 meal a day and some fruit if I get hungry. If your not hungry, your not suppose to eat!! OMG my parents get on my last nerves. And I don't want to hear that, "Oh there just doing this because they love and care about you." I'm ticked right now, and tha'ts all I've heard so far. I know they care about me, but I mean they should just back off!!

As others have said you will loose weight faster if you eat more meals, not less. You obviously do not know very much about nutrition. Please go and learn about it. bodybuilding.com has some good articles on nutrition and weight loss.

i know i hate it when people tell me to eat when i'm not hungry

Generally, the more meals someone eats in a day, the smaller each meal is.  So people who eat three meals eat less in each meal than those who eat one or two.

That said, people have incredibly different metabolisms, so comparing to other people might not work out.

I know how you feel. My dad force feeds me, even when I'm not hungry. And it's a bunch of crap like hohos and ice cream

I don't really get it from my parents anymore because I've learnt my ways around them. But I totally get the anger coming from the little comments about skipping a meal. I don't get how people could eat 2000cals EVERY DAY?! I mean I eat like 200 a day and still manage to gain ffs. Well few I'm glad I got my vent then haha. Good luck x

You're suppose to eat more then 3 times a day, somewhere around 6. Three meals, and three snacks between meals.
You're body never knows when it's going to get food, so it stores fat. But if you eat constantly (6 healthy meals/snacks) and work out, your body knows it's getting food, and doesn't have to store anything. So you loose weight.

agreed, the less you eat, the more weight you'll find you put on, as your digestive system will become more efficient with regards to absorbing sugars and fats to be able to fuel you for when you aren't eating...

Someone was telling me that eating 3 meals a day is necessary for losing weight, if you eat too little it doesn't help, and too much of course doesn't help. I can't back it up or go into detail 'cause I don't remember any of it :(

3 meals is nothing, i dont know how people can eat so little.
I eat 5-6 meals a day sometimes up to 8. You will be amazes how much more energy you have.
The meals dont have to be big ones, just 3 big ones and light snacks in between, and you CAN actually maintain/lose weight this way as your body does not need to store much fat as you are getting regular energy

They're telling you that because it's not healthy.

lol mi parents gave me a eating disorder and i dont give a shit i lost weight
meow666 Posted at 3:38 pm on Dec. 3, 2008
you're supposed to eat even when you're not really hungry, just not pig out every time you eat...stops your metabolism fluctuating throughout the day and whatnot...
