How Often do you Eat!?

MakingAChoice

I eat 3 meals a day too, and usually have 2-3 snacks, but I heard that you should eat every 2-3 hours!? Is that true!?

'They' say to not go more than 4 hours without eating something, This does not mean you need to eat a full meal every 4 hours, it just means grab a snack like a handful of nuts or something. From what I have read/heard the reason for this is to keep you body's metabolism high. When we take in food the body kick things up a notch for digestion. I tend to eat 3 meals and 3 'snacks' a day. My snacks can be nearly as large if not larger than my meals though if I am hungry. I try to evenly distribute my calorie intake throughout the day. Still staying under my calorie goal for the day of course. Seems to work well for me. I am never hungry and the weight is coming off.

I don't know what is it lately, but I've been more hungry than usual, and I'm usually getting all my calories in, however, right now, i'm not hungry at all, and need to eat in about 45 min.....

I eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks..Seems to be working good for me, I just watch my portions and make healthier choices that are filling! I also drink lost of water.
