I noticed from the 'what did you eat today thread' that it seems like no one eats three meals a day any more.
I know as for myself it's usually two, once when I wake up and again a few hours before I "plan" to sleep.
When I do eat three it's usually because I'm forced too, by staying at some ones house who does, or when my kids come over and I have to cook for them. Also I feel full most of the day any how because I eat high protein breakfast. I need protein or I feel hungry all the time and over eat.
But I see that quite a few people try to be healthy, I don't even try. And I use to be the coffee and cigarettes as a meal kind of person, but I quit cigarettes and I can't have coffee any more!
I don't miss the cigarettes but I miss the coffee. :(
So how many meals do you eat?
And do you try to be healthy or do just use the seafood diet? See food and I eat it!

When hypo-manic, I clean the house 7 times, then eat 3 squares a day, having lavish dinner parties every evening.
When depressed, I eat three meals over a two-week span. One meal might be a cup of yogurt. another meal might be a slice or two of bread, another might be a cold can of beanie-weenie, etc.
