There is an obligation to eat three meals on shabbat, <ref> Mishna Berura 291:1. This is based on the gemara in shabbat 117b which derives from the verse in Shemot 16:25 which mentions the word "hayom" meaning today three times. </ref> and if one missed the meal on friday night, he should eat three during the day. <ref> Rama 291:1 </ref>

# The obligation of eating the third meal of Shabbat (Seudat Shelishit) is rabbinic. <ref> Mishna Brurah 291:1. See Sh"t Tzitz Eliezer 16:13. Maharil 94, Peri Megadim 291 in Mishbetzot Zahav 1 say that it is rabbinic. Sefer Chareidim 14:3 disagrees though and says that it is from the torah. </ref>

# Women are obligated in Seudat Shelishit. <ref> S"A 291:6. This is based on Rabbeinu Tam in Sefer Hayashar 70:4 which says that women are obligated because they too were part of the miracle of the manna. The Ran on Shabbat 44a says that it is based on the same source as a woman's obligation in kiddush, that since they are obligated in refraining from melacha, they are also obligated in the mitzvot aseh even if it is only rabbinic. The Aruch Hashulchan 291:4 says that many women are unaware of their obligation and we should work to fix that. </ref>
