How Many Meals Each Day?
It varies. :)
How active are you? What kind of food did you eat, last time? etc. If you made the mistake of eating foods high in sugars or simple carbs, you'll be hungry sooner, and feeling the effects of that hunger, much stronger as well. That is THE reason I recommend cutting those foods out of your low calorie diet. It takes an inhuman amount of will power to stick to a diet, consisting of sugars and simple carbs. It's not just hard to do, it will also make you feel *miserable* trying to do it, with a capital "M". Health-wise, it is also a complete disaster, with blood sugar and insulin spiking and then dropping rapidly. Now, back to our regularly scheduled, topic for this post :) Since I'm more sedentary than active, I find two meals per day, perfect for me. Mealtimes are also quite variable. Meal #1, might be anywhere from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Meal #2 might be anywhere from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. I find eating three meals per day really is a step to having more calories than I want when losing weight. (roughly 1500 Calories is my daily goal). If you're like me, and was raised with rather strict "mealtimes", you will find this quite a freeing experience. Being obsessed with preparing or planning a meal at each "mealtime", is right along the same path toward being obsessed with eating, itself. And that is definitely not a good thing. Try freeing yourself; having a laid back attitude about "mealtimes", in general, and about the portion size that you may have been thinking was "normal". Make the new "mealtimes", and portion sizes, work FOR you, instead of against you. |
