Re: 5 small meals a day?
Whenever I can, I eat small things every three hours. If I can't, it's my three relatively small meals and that's it. At least there's nutrition going in.
ETA: I find that jello pudding cups are good, carrot stalks with ranch dressing, an apple, etc. work for me.

Re: 5 small meals a day?
My bfast and lunches are usually small...a serving of cereal or a homeade sandwich (made not too big unlike the deli sandwiches!) For dinner I eat whatever DH is eating, just a lot less.
My snacks in between meals are usually sweet and under 200 calories but ideally around 100 calories and include either a lot of fiber or protien:
fruit - apples (I eat them every day usually, I've been craving them!) or bananas
a low fat oat bar from the health food store (150 cals)
pria bars (w/real sugar)
yogurt (lucky for me I like plain yogurt)
soy chips

I am on the grazing diet. I eat all day long.
Snacks often include:
chewy granola bars

kudos bars
jello
pineapples
apples
grapes
chips (i try to buy the low sodium variety)
club crackers...plain
popsicles (i love the edy's strawberry fruit bars)
i just snack often and keep my 3 meals small.
oh, and TONS of water.

I snack on cheese, the planters nuts n chocolate mix, cherries, strawberries, jello pudding cups, almonds, - mostly small, portable things. I'm too busy to make small meals so I try to take the easy way out!

this sounds a lot like my diet except instead of a sandwich for lunch i have a small soup and a whole wheat pita. I have Fiber one with light soy milk for breakfast, apple for mid-morning snack, granola bar for afternoon snack and then a small dinner (typically a pizza bagel, 2 chicken & black bean fajitas, or a turkey burger)

Re: 5 small meals a day?
I pretty much only have snacks throughout the day...I keep track in a food journal to make sure that Im actually eating enough. I have found that eating little snacks is the way to go.
