We´ve a lot of snacks in the Work which are between my Office and the Coffee Machine. For my Brain it doesn´t matter what i eat before i pass that snacks, it still wants it 🤭
But it would be the same with fruits, meat or anything else. If you eat 2 or 3 times a day but your body gets time during the meals it´s much better as eating the same amount of food in small steps.
