i always eat 3 meals per day.
they are always 5 hours apart.
breakfast is usually at 9 am.
lunch is at 2 pm.
dinner is at 7 pm
i am always hungry by the time any of my meals is due, and i derive pleasure in selecting what i most want to eat for that meal.
my range of choices is limited to about 5 variants for each meal, but one of those variants will make me think "yes!! that is exactly what i want".
i have a rigid routine wired into my physiology, and i not not ever think to disrupt it.
if i was to eat anything between my set meal times, it would detract from my appetite for the ensuing meal, and that would detract from my regular pleasure of selecting my choice of dishes for that meal, and that in turn would make me feel unsettled and somewhat unfulfilled and ruffled.
when i feel unfulfilled and ruffled, there are many ramifications and offshoots that tend to spoil my discourse for the rest of the day.
