I should point out that IMHO, the only way to justify eating all the time is
if your stomach TELLS YOU TOO.  i.e. if you are hungry eat.  I would never
condone eating all the time and ignoring your body.  I try to get into
a cycle.  A glass of water in the morning and usually I'm hungry within
15-30min.  Sometimes not.  If I'm not, I don't eat.  When I'm hungry, I eat
some fruit.  I notice that if I've been taking care of myself, i.e. my
system feels "clean", I get hungry much faster.  Typically 30-45min, but
sometimes longer.  If I'm not hungry for 3 hrs after eating only a plum,
then I PAY ATTENTION and I don't eat.  I have a great faith in my body's
ability to figure out what it wants to a much better degree than western
medical science or any health food book or ideology.

Try it yourself and see what *YOUR* body suggests/demands.

Good luck..
