I can be one of those people where I like to eat periodically throughout the day..Sometimes I can't wait several hours before my next meal, I get hungry.
For sometime I have heard that it is good to eat several smaller meals throughout the day rather than waiting forever to eat in between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Say you at lunch at noon, then dinner rolls around at about 6 p.m. That's a lot of time for food to digest and when you see food, you want to inhale a ton of food. You end up eating more than necessary.
"Grazing" is a smart choice, because you keep your metabolism going, and keep your mouth and stomach happy. Be careful grazing, be sure to pick up wholesome and nutritious foods. (Fruits, vegetables etc.) Check out a local salad bar (get low-fat dressing), keep some nuts with you for protein, and eat some chicken. Stay stocked up with fresh fruit salads and veggies. Beans are good to eat as well.
