Regular Eating Plan

CBT-E — three meals, two-to-three snacks, every day, on time

TherapistAssist logo

The CBT-E foundation. Three meals and two to three snacks, every day, at planned times — regardless of hunger, weight, the previous meal, or what happened yesterday. Mechanical eating now; intuitive eating later.

Where the pattern broke down

The rule

Eat at the planned time, the planned amount, even if you binged, purged, skipped, or "ate too much" earlier. Regularity is the medicine.
