How many meals a day is good to stay healthy and fit


Recommended Posts

Well, I've heard that you should eat something every four hours or so. That will prevent you from starving at any point during the day and pigging out.

 

As for what you should eat, make sure you're eating plenty of fruits and veggies so you get the nutrients your body needs.

It depends a lot on what your needs are - as the other ladies have said several meals that are smaller is most often ideal. If you're exercising lots you may want to increase your protein intake, if you want to burn some fat quickly then higher protein + veggie (and lower levels of carbs - not NO carbs) is usually a good plan. But you need to make sure you eat enough, if you try to starve yourself then you may end up pigging out without meaning to. I typically have 3 larger meals and 2-3 snacks a day. But, if I'm not hungry - I might skip a snack, if you're working out in the am you might want to have a bigger breakfast.

 

I think you just need to figure out your goals (ie weight loss, or maintenance) - that will also help guide you. Good luck :)

Amygirl....me too! I've lost 30 pounds eating clean! I usually have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, pre-workout snack and dinner! I guess that's 6 meals a day for me...it's really important to eat regularly to keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. I eat lots of fruits and veggies, lots of lean protein, and lots of water.

i have to agree.
eating every 3-5 meals a day works. trust me. it sounds like alot, but that's the only way you'll shed the pounds.
Drinking lots of water.
Fruits and veggies for a snack.... cutting back on carbs...
USE ALL YOUR COLOURS!!
RED: apples, ORANGE: oranges, YELLOW: Bananas, GREEN: pears, BLUE: Blueberries, PURPLE:plums, BROWN: also pears......
and you can do the same for veggies.

*don't eat past 8 pm

RICE: JUST SAY NO.... try 100% wild rice... it looks like bird food, but tastes reallllll good.

DRESSINGS: cut back on dressings as much as you can. if you can't resist, try a low fat vinegarette.

hope that helps a bit.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
