At the very beginning meter ONCE. Take your subject or your palm if its close to the subjects skin color and fill your ENTIRE camera screen with their skin. Meter off this. For Caucasians you meter one stop above the '0'. After you do this meter at the beginning of the shoot IGNORE your light meter unless you have drastic change in light.
Your meter will change ALL THE TIME. It will read your background and your foreground and try to find a happy medium. So if you background is pure white its going to scream over exposed when your background doesn't matter and you will end up underexposing your subject
