Key Points to remember when planning daily meals.
1.Too much food at one meal leads to new body fat storage.
2.Too much time between meals slows your metabolism.
3.Five to eight small meals/snacks can maximize metabolic rate and keep body-fat loss consistent.
4.Well-planned and nutrient filled meals lead to a steady, high energy level throughout the day.
5.Convenience is very important. Plan ahead to make sure you can eat when scheduled.
6.Keep nutrients fairly equally spaced throughout the day. (Don’t 2-3 servings of fruit for breakfast, space it out throughout the day)
7.Allow flexibility when necessary regarding meal ratios, but stay within your nutrient totals for the day.
8.Learn your body’s natural hunger patterns and adjust meal spacing accordingly, allowing for some flexibility.
