OP here, that sounds really good in theory.  In reality it doesn't always work.  I'm a teacher and I coach after school.  During the school year, I know that there are 3 times when I can eat during the day.  Before school (7:00 a.m.), on my lunch break (10:45 or 11:00) and after practice (6:30 or later).  I guess I could also eat right before bed, but I have problems with reflux so I don't.  So, often I'll make sure to eat something at 10:45 or 11:00, even if I'm not particularly hungry, because I know that otherwise I'll be starving and 6:30, and that's no fun, and doesn't lead to great choices.

My question is whether I should do the same thing at 6:30, if I'm not hungry.  My guess is yes, but I wanted to check.

For those of you who have jobs where you can stop whenever you want, that's great, but some of us do need to eat on a schedule.

I should clarify that by "not hungry", I'm not referring to "Oh, I'm so full" or "Ugh, I can't think of eating".  I wouldn't ignore those cues, but I'm talking about times when I could take it or leave it.

I should add that I went ahead and ate a salad last night, so I can't tell you if skipping it led to more hunger the next days. [/quote]
