Me too.  Eating small meals never leaves me feeling satistfied.

I spent last weekend away with a mate and his girlfriend, and some  
time early afternoon on the Friday one of them commented I hadn't  
eaten anything (they'd had about three "meals" by then).  After that,  
every day one of them said something about how I was going to starve  
and die (maybe slightly exaggerated) if I didn't eat in the day.  That  
never happened, but what I did notice was that they were constantly  
obsessed about having food handy - even a few hours without eating was  
a major stress.

I just find this dependency on eating constantly strange now.  Even if  
I had two days travelling ahead of me, I wouldn't make much effort to  
collect food for the journey.  I can't imagine having to keep food  
near me 24 hours a day.
