I eat a normal size bf (bagel with tomatoes, fresh fruit typically) and when lunch comes around, I am starved! I eat two small- medium sized lunches.... One at 11:30 and another at 1-2.
But... I typically eat half a dinner.... And no snacks in between any meals...
Um today I had 2, I feel like a hobbit, I should be doing first breakfast, second breakfast, etc.... The appetite has really kicked up and I feel like a pig but I get so I'm super hungry and uncomfortable.

I'm eating a bigger breakfast (making sure to get protein in), and I always have a morning or afternoon snack, then adjust when I eat lunch based on the snack. I sort of drag my lunch out, too, since I eat at my desk. I'll eat the main thing first, then pause and work some, then eat some nuts, pause, eat some yogurt, pause, eat some fruit. So I'm basically eating all day!
Today for breakfast I had a pear, 1/4 of a watermelon and a cake donut. That was between 730-830.
At 1220 I ate a grilled chicken breast with a laughing cow cheese on a bun, a yogurt, 2 pieces of string cheese and the other 1/4 of watermelon. Then at 2 I ate a PB&J sandwich and a granola bar. It seems that I'm the hungriest in the middle of the day.
When I get home I'm making shrimp and zucchini stir fry and won't eat again this evening. It's weird.
Well lets see 2 small breakfasts and 2 medium lunches and one normal size dinner about covers it. lol I cant eat much at one time theres just no room in there. But hey 24 weeks with twins and only 14 pounds up I guess its ok

I eat cereal for breakfast, then a snack a few hours later. Then I have my lunch, then a snack again a few hours later. Then I do supper and a snack again. I can't eat much at once, so it seems like I'm always hungry. I was on weight watchers before this and that was what we were supposed to do. We had to eat about every 2 hours (meal then snack then meal...) to keep up metabolism. Guess I'm just used to that now. I'm 25 weeks 2 days and only up 8 pounds, so I guess I'm doing pretty good.
Re: How many lunches do you eat???
What times are you eating and what are you eating? Can you do more high protein so you are full for longer periods of time?
I can't imagine eating two lunches. I can barely keep one down.

I tend to have 2 breakfasts and 1 lunch.
I usually grab something as I'm running out the door to work. Typically toast. And then I'll have something with protein once I get to work.
I also added a snack in the afternoon. Trail mix, yogurt or something like that.

I usually snack small meals all day. I eat 1/2 my lunch @ 11 and the other 1/2 around 2.
And I try to eat healthy and STILL have gained 21 lbs already at 22 weeks.
