You Don’t Need to Eat Every 2–3 Hours
Some people believe that having smaller, more frequent meals may help them lose weight.

However, some studies suggest that meal size and frequency have no effect on fat burning or body weight.

Eating every 2–3 hours is inconvenient and completely unnecessary for the majority of people. Simply eat when you’re hungry and be sure to choose healthy and nutritious foods.

Snack smarter Snacking can help maintain energy. Stay away from sugary foods like candy or soda since they have little nutritional value. Instead, choose healthier options like fruit, yogurt, nuts, cut-up vegetables or whole grain crackers. Be mindful of portions and how many calories your snacks provide. Examples of snacks include a handful of walnuts, half a cup of low-fat yogurt topped with berries, one cup of sliced vegetables with hummus or one slice of whole wheat bread topped with peanut butter and bananas.

Focus on fiber Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber. Fiber aids in your digestion and may lower your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Also, high fiber foods can keep you fuller longer, which helps keep you from overeating.

Size matters Keeping an eye on portion size is key to maintaining a healthy weight. Avoid supersized portions. Use a smaller plate, bowl and glass. Stop eating when you are satisfied, not full.

Rethink your drink Soda and other sweet drinks contain a lot of sugar, are high in calories and lack healthy nutrients. Drink water, 100% juice or fat-free milk. Dilute fruit juices with water or seltzer.
