Should I have lunch or wait?

[Anonymous]

So I know that sounds bad - but generally I eat too much rather than too little and don’t have an eating disorder. I had a protein shake for breakfast, it’s currently 11:15am and I’m going out for a meal and drinks tonight around 7. I was hoping to wear a black dress which is quite tight so was going to skip lunch (I get extremely bloated - I think I have IBS but it’s not confirmed). But now I am so hungry. I want to look nice tonight and not be in pain from bloating, but I’m hungry so I want to eat something, what should I do?

Also - I don’t know what triggers the bloating it seems to be literally anything, so I can’t have lunch and avoid certain foods and know I won’t bloat, and I do have medication but it doesn’t really help

you are better off eating smaller amounts more often.
doing that you tend to be less hungry, don't get sugar spikes and keeps your metabilism humming along.
If you start missing meals that can throw your whole system off.
