My dad ate at 7:00 am, 11:30 am and 5:30 pm. And had a sweet snack about 7:30 pm, some days (one stick of licorice). I never heard him mention being hungry… though Mom did manage to feed him on schedule about 99% of the time
I don’t really get this one. Do we old folks not know if we’re hungry, and have to consult our watches to find out? First I’ve heard of it in almost 80 years.
I had thought dieting would be easy. Once upon a time, I went on survival training in the Rockies with a total of 1500 calories in emergency rations to see me through a full week of active hiking and camping. I lost 20 pounds, which was 1/6 th of my body weight at the time.
Yep, I was hungry for a week. Now … I’m on a diet … and I’ve been hungry all the time for a month (and with no majestic scenery). :) :(

Do you use the same method, Earl, when you’re either peckish or famished?

Body clocks are usually as accurate as time pieces when it comes to regular feeding times. Impulse is second and more likely to get notice.

And that’s why you can’t get your trousers to fit in the middle, Earl…https://www.gocomics.com/pickles/2022/06/22?ct=v&cti=2208697

Most of us eat at certain times due to habit!

He’s German? I’m only half, but at 79, I check one of my Excel spread-sheets to see what’s due today.

Being retired and living alone, my mealtimes can vary by several hours. It all depends on what’s going on.

What would we do without wives and watches to tell us what we should do?
