@PearlsPearl I know what you mean about the snacking. I sort of treat mine as a ‘lunch’ tbh as I’m not grazing but will pick at fruit and nuts etc in the middle of the day. Other than that, I am very happy on 2 meals a day. In fact, I don’t often actually want dinner but can eat when I sit down with a plate of something yummy. I eat because I know I should and because I need energy for the gym! Can be anytime from around 4 to 7 depending on what else I’m doing. I’m no longer dictated to by my stomach!
