Meal Frequency

Research has shown that to keep our bodies functioning more efficiently in order to maintain a healthy weight, people should eat smaller meals more frequently rather than eating fewer larger meals throughout the day. Bigger time gaps between meals cause blood sugar to drop. Not only will you feel tired when your blood sugar drops, but you will tend to want to eat more at the next meal. When the blood sugar drops, the body goes into a starvation mode and will use protein for energy, which is not usable by the brain.

Also, there will be less protein available to help build the muscles. Did you ever hear the term brain fog? Well brain fog is when there is not enough sugar to feed the brain. So try to eat smaller healthy meals more frequently then just having breakfast, lunch and usually an enormous diner. Try to eat every 3-5 hours.
