How often do you eat?

I've realized recently that I often eat because it is "time to eat" instead of actually needing to eat. I'm curios, how often do some of you other folks in maintenance eat? Do you make sure you eat 3 or 4 times a day or do you eat when you feel like youneed to? I'm thinking about changing my system to try and eat when I feel like I need to rather then on a schedule.

Because I can't eat a lot, I eat more often...About every 3 hours.  Otherwise, I can't get enough calories in during the day and my weight loss stalls.  I eat only when I am hungry though.  If I don't feel hungry I don't eat.

I think if I was really honest with myself that I rarely eat when I'm actually hungry. I need to work on that.

Weight loss does not stall because you're short on calories.

Mine does...and all my doctors and but have told me I stall it means my cals are too low...different advice from different people

I eat every couple of hours.  If I go too long without eating I get shaky and dizzy and can't do the common "3 meals and 2 snacks only per day".  That said, I try not to eat after 7 PM as part of my strategy.  Sometimes it feels like I'm always eating or drinking but it's worked well for me.

I eat by the clock, every three hours. If I get hungry in between, I wait.

I eat 3 meals and 2 snack every day. I could probably go a whole day without eating and wouldn't be hungry, so I can't go by hunger. I see it as fueling my body.

it depends on a day and what I am eating...

some days 2-3 times , some 6-7 .. 

I'm a creature of habit. 11 AM breakfast, 2 PM lunch, 4 PM afternoon snack (apple), 7:00 dinner, 8:30 PM snack (yogurt).

I am 3+ years post-op so yes I am hungry when I eat! I do get hungry between meals but I just remind myself that I will eat at x time and it is okay to wait until then to eat.
