Hey everyone! I was looking into eating 5 small meals a day instead of the usual 3. At 1200 calories a day, 240 calories a meal, give me your fav meal ideas!!! Thanks :)

    Are you doing this for a specific reason or just out of wanting to do something different? I ask because some people believe that you need to eat multiple mini-meals in order to keep your metabolism going. That's false. You do not have to do that. So if you want to eat 3 meals, you can do that and still lose/gain/maintain/be healthy.

    Best of luck to you!

    My meals are larger than that because my calorie goal is 1560, but my breakfast was small at 260 cal with 140 cal granola bar, 1 large egg, and 2 servings of egg whites from the carton (6TBs).
