Yes, this.
I eat, usually two meals a day, sometimes three, occasionally a snack. I'm mindful of what my parents taught me about eating, which is to eat more fruits and veggies (I prefer veggies, DH prefers fruit, so sometimes we eat the same meals, sometimes different).
Your hormones that control hunger and satiety are likely different than OPs. Imagine being hungry a lot and needing more food than your similarly sized friends to satisfy that hunger. It can be very stressful. I love salads, fruits, raw and cooked vegetables, beans—all the healthy foods. I also don’t drink many calories and barely drink alcohol. But I can’t have a cup of yogurt for breakfast and be satisfied until lunch like my best friend. So it’s great that you have this easily and naturally. Yes it’s your upbringing, but it’s also your hormones and body composition that are involved in the process, so please don’t be so quick to judge those that can’t just do it like you.
No one said otherwise.
Learn the difference, though, between truly eating to satisfy hunger/genuine craving and emotional eating, social eating, etc. Whether you have a hard-boiled egg or a full plate of Moons Over My Hammy, if you are truly listening to your food voice and stopping at the point of satiation, you're eating intuitively.
No one said intuitive eaters = eating perfectly or small portions or small meals every single day. So don't put that in the conversation when it wasn't there.
