    What is your eating style?

    Negasta, you're an Erratic Eater

    Erratic eaters like you tend to have erratic schedules on the whole, and tend to ingest their biggest meals, and heartiest snacks during the evening and nighttime hours. While your evening meal is what you focus most on — and sometimes it can occupy much of your night — how much you eat and when you eat your meals varies day to day. Eating three square meals a day is not your style. Instead, you are the type of person who usually skips breakfast or grabs something small. You also eat lunch at erratic times as well. One day you may eat a good meal at noon, while the next you might grab a handful of crackers at 4pm with dinner at 6pm.

    While it's great that you're flexible, there are a number of nutritional downfalls to this style of eating. For one, you body doesn't function well when it's starved of food, which it would be if you weren't eating til those 4pm crackers. Your pattern suggests that it can be hard for you to keep track of what you're eating because the timing and quantity changes from day to day.

    Alexander, you're a Relaxed Eater

    You understand that food is more than just about sustenance. Overall, you treat yourself well. Even if you are not always successful at it, having sit-down meals three times a day is your ideal. You also try to be regular with your portions and the times that you eat on a day-to-day basis. At first, this may sound like you have a common pattern. Your pattern is, in fact, extremely sensible, but unfortunately, not that common these days. You may find that you are one of the few people in your work place or community that actually sits down for three square meals. But when it comes to food, your priorities seem to be in order. You avoid eating as if it's a competitive race to the finish; rather you savor your meals and allow yourself the lost art of enjoying the eating experience itself. Taking the time to sit down and share a meal and conversation with family and friends signals that you do understand that it is important to have balance in your life.

    But even you can eat differently when certain emotions trigger your natural eating pattern.

    Imre, you're a Circumstantial Eater

    Circumstantial eaters like you don't make food a priority in their lives. In fact, it's probably more of an afterthought as they eat based more on their circumstances. Because of this, you probably end up eating whatever's quickest, or easiest to prepare. Unlike people who plan meals a day, or even a week, in advance, it is not unusual for you to be already hungry when you think about food. But once this realization hits, you want something to eat but don't want to spend a lot of time preparing it. Your tendency is to choose foods that come in a container, or with a set of instructions. That way, all the planning and preparing is done for you.

    While it's fine that you place an emphasis on other areas of your life, you could also be missing out on not only on some of the enjoyable social and physical highs of eating well, but also on nutritional value as well.

    I'm sorry, it was a very long test, like 10 pages long, and I am sleepy. Don't like the fact also that I have to sign up.

    Mark, you're an Indulgent Eater

    You, more than others, truly gain satisfaction from eating. And because of this, you sometimes have difficulty slowing down or just saying no. You enjoy eating and what's great about that is you understand how to appreciate certain aspects of food that others do not. You see food as more than just a source of nutrition or energy. For you, dining, or just plain eating, can be a really enjoyable experience. On the downside, however, you might sometimes indulge too much in the satisfaction you get from eating.
