Snacking challenge

I am just preparing you for next weeks challenge/homework. Starting Monday I want all of you to stop eating meals.....yes I said stop eating meals!!!! Instead, I want you to eat 7-3 small meals throughout the day. That means that everytime you eat you will eat approx. 200-250 calories and nothing more. Honestly, this should be pretty easy. You will literally be snacking all day.
Example, if you have your first snack at 6 a.m. then your day would look like this:
6ish
8ish
10ish
12ish
1ish
3ish
5ish
7ish
You are still expected to stay within your calorie range.
