I keep to my three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Meanwhile, I am constantly seeing people munching away on dehydrated fruit bits, protein this or that, fiber supplemented cookies, etc, to the point they overlook proper meals.

Did I miss a memo?

    This is really about fat shaming, isn’t it?

    Your other comments give it away.

    Grazing is not a fat person’s habit. It’s just different. As long as a person is getting the right mix of micro and macronutrients and meeting their caloric goals for the day, it shouldn’t matter.

          Nothing. But what you raised was bound to become a concern to someone at some point in the conversation.

            My own anecdotal observation tells me the “grazer” (not a word I enjoy using) tends to put on a lot of weight. That constant eating is putting unnecessary calories into the body, regardless they eating “healthy” snacks.

            Grazing sounds like a sure way to gain weight and fast.

            And I have to wonder if not allowing the digestion to run to its course before eating more won’t cause ill effects.

            YOU raised the concern.
