I eat 5-6 meals per day, actually it is 3 smaller meals and 2 or 3 snacks spaced in between. Should I still eat my snacks between meals even if I am not hungry? If I don't then I would fall short on my daily calories but sometimes I am not hungy and don't know if I should still eat the snacks or not. The way it is now if I eat the snacks I eat something every 2 to 2 1/2 hrs.

Thats exactly how you should be eating. You should never "feel" hungry. That way you are keeping the system steady.

If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, then you can be it, you can do it. If it is meaningful enough, and you commit the energy of your passion, you will.
