When to Eat

post by Shannon


It is important to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Find out how many calories you need, and then divide that by five. The snacks and meals should be the same amount of calories. By doing this you are giving your body the fuel it needs to burn fat. The worst thing you can do it go hours without eating.

Here is an example of a schedule you could follow:

7 a.m.- Wake up and eat breakfast. Eat a high fiber breakfast if you are trying to lose weight.

8 a.m.- Exercise (wait an hour after eating to exercise)

9:30 - Mid-morning snack

noon- Lunch

2:30 or 3 - Afternoon snack

5:30 - Dinner (it is important not to eat late when you are trying to lose weight)
