I've done it both ways, depending on the day 's schedule.
But it is hard to plan for supper. My wife is diabetic and carefully measures the time between meals. But her sleep schedule is erratic, so I don't know till I come home when I should plan on serving dinner.

I'm very rarely hungry. I eat because I like the flavours and textures of the food so I put off eating until I have the opportunity to eat something I will enjoy. But of course this alone doesn't prevent overeating so I try to ensure that when I eat that I use a small plate. So I will eat something four or five times a day but usually only a small amount each time
I eat when I'm hungry but fast for part of the day to help me stay energized.
I'd prefer to have time to sit and eat three meals a day in a relaxing way but life isn't like that right now.

Since my time schedule is so weird, it's when I am hungry.
I do forget to eat at times unfortunately. I really should not be forgetting. I am still underweight a bit. Yet not as bad as I once was.
When I was working it had to be on a regular schedule though. My work insisted on regular breaks every two hours. On a twelve hour day I got 5 breaks.

I live alone and my hours are random. I try to eat healthy but my ideal isn't perhaps a three coarse I grew up on. I do however go to bed hungry 🤷...helps me sleep.

No, I usually follow the clock. Even if I start being hungry earlier, I don't eat lunch before 12 PM. I eat a lot, I don't have the right to be hungry, lol. It's actually funny how this happens when my breakfast is bigger. If I have just yogurt, I don't tend to be hungry early.

I used to eat whenever even when bored. But I've been trying to stick to a certain calorie amount each day so I typically only eat when hungry. I will have lunch at noon and then dinner around 6pm .and a very little snack at like 8 ish. Like a few animal crackers or a small bowl of cereal.

I graze when I’m hungry or want to participate in family time. I can’t really eat a full meal. The timing can be pretty random lol
I've changed, slightly.
Im eating bigger breakfast and lunches and dinner is a smaller, less carby meal. Im snacking less. I have a routine I have to stick to, time wise, with work, so it revolves around that.

I started pretty much making myself eat something in the morning, whether I'm hungry...or not. I eat a more substantial meal at night, much later than most people. I guess if I was actually hungry in the hours between, I'd eat something, but I never am.

Neither of your two choices. I eat whenever the mood strikes - and never in large amounts. A bite here, a bite there. Maybe 7 or 8 snacks over the course of a 24 hr period.

@rinkydinkydoink When the mood strikes, perhaps that’s when you’re hungry ? I do something similar; I’ll eat a bite or two, which feels like "refueling".

I'm actually hungry when I eat, even though my meals are scheduled. I wake up hungry and a few hours later I'm waiting for it to be lunchtime and I'm starving by the time dinner is prepared.

I struggle with eating from past trauma from my childhood. Years of abuse and ptsb make it hard for me to eat
I’m on more of a schedule. So, I guess more so to avoid being hungry of the two options.
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
I know it's not what you're supposed to do, but I just eat once a day, usually dinner.
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
@HowtoDestroyAngels I know someone who does this. She lost a lot of weight. I’d die though.
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
Im in a Biggest Loser contest so I try to eat regularly throughout the day. Small snacks ro prevent overdoing it later.
Celt50 · 51-55, M
Bit of both , during work ill eat at my break time even if not hungry, but once it comes to supper time in evening im always hungry
ArtieKat · M
I'm always hungry. Even when I've just eaten!
I eat when I'm hungry , and most of the time not until I'm full but until I'm not hungry anymore
ChemicalXTheExtraterrestrial · 36-40, F
I only ever eat when I'm hungry unless I know I will soon not have easy access to food for a bunch of hours.
I often eat just because I'm bored.

@Mindfulness I suspect a lot of people can relate to this. 😊
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
I eat regular meals (3xday), but will prepare less if I'm not very hungry.
Achelois · F
I don’t eat 3 meals a day, two most of the time, often just one meal.
I never eat breakfast.

I just eat whenever I'm hungry. And not to be full, just until I'm satisfied
exexec · 70-79, C
I eat three scheduled meals, but they may be very light snacks.
sciguy18 · M
Both. I eat at certain times, but I’m always hungry then…
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
I tend to eat three small meals a day 🙂🙂
