Smaller, More Frequent Healthy Meals/Snacks

Told you that you would love the next post! Here I go, telling you to eat more often! Don’t go crazy now; read carefully, this is not an OK to have pizza, burger, fries, etc. all day long!

How many of us remember the “three square meals a day” thing? I know I sure do. Saw and heard it everywhere. Well just like almost everything else over the past thirty years, enough progress has been made as it relates to proper nutrition to dispel the three meal fallacy. That just won’t cut it folks. Three meals a day or less will all but ensure your body is storing excess calories, slowing your metabolism and building your fat stores. Lesson, eat more often!

Notice, I didn’t necessarily say eat more. That can only be determines based on your starting point, but one thing is certain, whether you need to eat less, calories, more calories or about the same number of calories as you are eating right now on a daily basis, you will benefit greatly if you learn to spread them out over 5+ meals/snacks per day.

I promise you, this is not nearly as difficult as some people make it seem. If you need to, set meal and snack times and stick to them until you have created a habit. Believe me, after just a few days, your body will be telling you “feed me” every few hours, not letting you forget. Everyone I have ever worked with ends up saying the exact same thing……”I’m hungrier now that I am eating more often!” Yes! It’s true! Your body will burn hotter and be far more efficient at digesting and utilizing the calories you ingest. This keeps your fat burning furnace stoked!

No matter what, don’t skip meals/snacks. Use meal replacements, Catalyst, snack bars, peanuts, veggies, etc. Anything that can ensure that you don’t skip a single meal or snack. Make a deal with yourself starting tomorrow, at least 5 small meals or snacks throughout the day!

Create the habit of eating smaller, more frequent meals, than we will focus on what to eat and what not eat!

Next, I will show one of the best tricks in the book on how to change your body composition! Stay tuned!
