Meal Frequency

Meal Frequency

Eating multiple times throughout the day is the simplest way to consume your daily caloric intake. A lot of people currently eat once or twice a day. These meals typically wind up being either lunch or dinner as a lot of folks skip breakfast. And on top of that they typically eat a huge meal at lunch and eat an unbalanced dinner. Unbalanced like leftovers from lunch or cereal for dinner.

By eating at regular intervals throughout the day, you speed up your metabolism. If you aren’t currently a breakfast person, you will find that once you start to eat breakfast on a regular basis you will become increasingly hungry for a mid-morning snack. Becoming hungry for a mid-morning snack after breakfast is a good indicator that your metabolism is starting to speed up.

Eating the mid-morning snack will keep you satisfied as you come up on your lunch hour. You can begin to see the pattern here. You eat lunch to make it to your afternoon, you eat your afternoon snack to make it to dinner. The key to meal frequency is portion control. At no point are you eating to be full. As we said before you are eating to be satisfied.

For those of you reading this and thinking you don’t want to feel hungry all day or that you do want to eat all day consider this: Having an appetite throughout the day and making good nutritional decisions when it’s time to eat is how to successfully lose weight.

You don’t have to go on a drastic diet. Eating grains, veggies, lean protein at breakfast lunch and dinner and snacking on regular fruit throughout the day while drinking water is all you need to do in order to “eat healthy”. Make good nutritional decisions throughout the day and you’ll be good to go.
