More girl diet questions!

Okay, so I believe the advice on here is to eat two larger meals a day and not snack. However, I read that snacking actually helps one to lose weight. Is it better to snack a little, or is it better to let your body go to starvation mode even though you might not lose that much weight?

Also, how many calories a day should we try to limit ourselves to? I know that we are all different weights, but what is a good range?

1500-1800 cals is best and is also in line with what the Oxford study found.

I think it's best to stick to the 2-3 meals a day because it's not just about losing weight, it's also about keeping your blood sugar levels low for as many hours out of the day as you can. If you're constantly eating, your blood sugar is always elevated.
