Eating is fundamental to health and life. It's the fuel that supplies the body with energy and necessary nutrients that maintain proper function.
How often we should eat--what we eat--is an important focus given the level of widespread obesity in this country. Traditionally, we are told that three meals a day are necessary for good health.
However, I have always wondered how someone else can tell me when I'm hungry. It just never made sense. Yet, we are trained to do it in school. And eating three times a day becomes a habit rather than physical necessity.
