There are no rules on this one. Some people eat once a day others every three hours. And everything in between. You want to try to eat according to your hunger but that's not always possible. Do what feels right for you and what works with your daily schedule.

It's whatever works for you. Once you're dialed in with getting your hormones and metabolism under control, you can trust your body's hunger signals. There are days where I basically eat all day long, there are days where I skip lunch, and there are days like today where it's 6:30 in the evening and all I've had is breakfast (and I still don't feel hungry, I feel great right now, BTW). So if you're dialed in, just eat when you're hungry and eat to satiation.

If you're not dialed in, then you'll get lots of advice. What worked for me was to eat just at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a 4th snack sometime when it was convenient. Others say to eat many small meals, and yet others will say to try a compressed eating window. I don't know what's best, I just know what worked for me.

Nope. Whatever works best for your lifestyle. I work at home, so I eat when I am hungry.

Whenever I am hungry but I am playing with intermittent fasting (Eating in an 8 hour window).

My Experience is that my blood glucose are more stabilised after going Paleo. Now I'm having tree meals pr day, before that I had 6 meals pr day.

I'm just listen to my body, and suggests you just listen to yours...

Like 2-3 times a day. I fast about once every 10 days and rarely feel hungry.

I eat from 1 to 4 times a day, depending on schedule, workout, what I ate yesterday etc. I rarely get hungry, and when I'm hungry I can have massive meals and easily consume 2000 kcal in a single sitting. I am a grad student, so my days are really flexible and I usually end up with 2 meals a day.

I typically eat 2 times a day. I will occasionally have a small snack depending on my activities/meal timing for that day. This is what works best for me, I am a female 20 year old college student athlete. I feel best when I fast nightly for 12-16 hours regularly with an occasional 18 - 22 hour fast (3 times a month?). I feel less bloated if I do some fasting.

I find that 70% of the time I'll eat two big meals in a day. Sometimes I snack, sometimes I don't. I think the key point here is that there are no set rules for when to eat.

I'm with everyone else in that it's an "on your own schedule" type of thing. When I was working part time, I would skip breakfast and eat a big lunch (before work) and a big dinner after work. Now that I'm working full time and I have to work out early in the morning, I tend to get in my three meals a day (post workout, then lunch, and dinner). Typically (if calories matter) around 800-1,000 calories per meal with no snacking in between meals.

I agree with the others, do what feels right. It took me a little while to figure out what works best for me. What I do now is eat two meals a day, a fatty breakfast and a fatty dinner, but neither meal is too excessive. This removes the stress of having to pack lunch for uni and if I don't add too many carbs I have energy all day!

Usually, I just have coffee or tea until I get home from work around 3-4. I usually have my biggest meal around then. I work out around 6-7 and then I have another big (usually carby) meal after my work out. I tried eating breakast before work for a week or two, but it just wasn't working for me.

During the week I have a big meat breakfast with no carbs (from vegetables/fruits). Because I have school I just skip lunch and have no problems, actually its quite freeing. Around 5 I cook myself a large dinner (steak or pork chops or hamburgers or seafood etc..), sweet potato and sometimes mushrooms or brocolli and than fast again to breakfast. However on the weekends after shopping at the market I tend to eat three meals. It seems to all balance out to a very satisfying lifestyle. Do what works for you though. Some can't skip meals due to stress or hunger.

every three hours

Thanks for all the great info we just started paleo and it's Definantly freeing!

You're training up to nine hours a week in the gym? What daily calorie and protein intake are you on? What does your routine and split look like.
