I generally eat 3 meals a day but I have lots of random things in between from fruits to yogurt to biscuits.

No. I never eat breakfast, and sometimes I forget lunch or dinner; actually, it's 3PM here, and I'm just now eating lunch. If I do eat dinner, it'll be very small, as I had a late lunch; I'll snack on something later though.

No.

I like to have one or occasionally two good-sized meals a day and snacks in between.

I can go a day without barely eating anything. I can also go a day constantly eating. That's just me.

No. I usually eat only two meals a day, even when I'm not cooking for myself. When I am cooking for myself, it's more random.

Nope. If I eat a meal at all, it usually only one, toward the end of the day, and a couple of quick snacks. It doesn't have that much to do with AS, though it could be an indirect affect. I have IBS that I now think was brought on by the constant stress of trying to act like everyone around me. It's really messed up my food intake habits. If I eat too early, it makes me physically sick. If I wait until it doesn't make me sick, I can eat, but eating a full meal usually stops me in my tracks. It makes me tired and unable to function.

I've found really high protein helps. Small snacks of tuna, eggs or cheese in the afternoon works well. No heavy carbs until later, and those should always be complex. I don't always follow this though, but I pay dearly for it if I don't for more than a day. I'll even break out in hives if I'm not careful.

I prefer not to have meals. I find that meals work out better when you are busy working on stuff but when you are stuck at home all day its better to just keep eating snacks. I've heard it's healthier to eat 6 small meals rather than 3 big ones as well.

I eat every 4 hours, usually 4 meals a day. Keeps me from getting hungry and snacking, and I've been able to lose a lot of weight by eating this way. :)

Definitely eat around 3 times a day on a regular basis but I tend to eat an uneven amount of food :oops:

No. I'm sort of going on a..er...no eating streak right now :? But when I was having a normal appetite, I usually ate 3 meals. It wasn't a strict rule, I just ate 3 if I was hungry for them.

I eat whatever, whenever. I'll only eat traditional meals when I have someone else around who expects to actually have dinner or breakfast or whatever.

On my own, I will feel hungry and just make or grab whatever looks good.

No, I do it in a very relaxed, liberal way.
