Hi, I normally eat every 3 hours, eg breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Currently I don't feel hungry enough to eat my snacks, is it still best to have a snack anyway to keep my metabolism ticking over?

If this eating cycle is working for you, then I'd say keep the snack, but lower your main meal calories so that your body will "look forward" to snack time.
But as usual, check with your doctor or nutritionist for more (and better!) information.
I envy you. I would love not to be hungry for snacks, even after full meals I am looking forward to the next time for some goodies.
I eat a lot, but my wt, nothing to brag about, has stayed the same for months..
I am not sure how important it is to eat every 3 hrs for increased metabolism.
I think the jury is out on that one.
You could try it each way, and see what works best for you.
I would kiss my lucky stars to be where you are. wow must be nice.
you are doing great.
