5 meals/day is ideal, but really difficult to pull off without a lot of preparation. I bought a buttload of mini-protein bars and soy crisps that I bring to work. I also buy fruit from the local diner (since that's all we have in Newark *sigh*) for one meal.
I try to count on exercise as opposed to watching what I eat as a method of control though, because at the end of the day if I want a cookie or a cream soda (ok...more likely both) I'm going to have it. I just am, lol.
