Should you eat on a schedule? I don’t prefer the word should, so first things first, let’s reframe this question: Is it helpful to eat on a schedule?

As a sports and eating disorder dietitian, I have found scheduling meals, especially in your initial empowered eating stages, can be extremely beneficial.

Here is why: Sometimes our hunger and fullness cues are off and we need to reset them. We either get too busy, and skip meals and snacks, or we only eat when starving. And when we practice this type of eating style - we usually end up overeating, and typically end up trying to reduce intake at the next meal.

So, the very first step I recommend clients take as they reset their eating routine, is to make a plan to eat every 2-4 hours. This is actually the first food step we tackle in my program, The Empowered Eating Method.
