EZ, I moved your question from the Intro's forum to the Newbies' Questions one - you should get more replies here

I would suggest that yes, you eat regularly scheduled meals, even if they are small ones, throughout the day. It may be easier to eat smaller more frequent meals than 3 large ones simply because they are smaller.

Your body needs fuel throughout the day to burn fat and to keep you alive and healthy - you have to supply that fuel or it will start scavanging your body for sources. The greatest source of much needed amino acids in your body is found in your muscles - losing lean muscle mass is not something you want. If you do not eat, you will not lose.

Suggestion to keep calories up: Use fat! Put butter and mayonnaise on everything. Eat fattier cuts of meat. Keep the skin on the chicken. Get some macadamia nuts and have an ounce or two (high in mono unsaturated fat and low carb and legal once you're out of Induction).

Take heart - the appetite suppressing qualities of LCing do not last forever. You will get hungry again
