3-6: There is no one correct answer to this. It depends on how hungry you get during the day, your weight, etc. Do what feels right for you. Some people do well with three meals a day. Other people do better with 6 small meals a day.

May be hard to do...: People try to live and work in conditions that their bodies are able to adapt to, but sometimes that is not possible.
