We Tried It: Eating 5 meals a day


 

Check these out, too...

Are hunger pains in between meals bringing ya down? For me, the answer to that was easy: yes! I used to eat breakfast at 8 a.m. and by 10, my stomach was begging for a snack. Unfortunately, a granola bar just wouldn’t cut it, and I was even hungrier (and grumpier) a half an hour later. My solution? Changing my three-meals-a-day eating plan into five small meals a day.
 
I know, this sounds like it would add major calories to your diet, but not if you split it up properly. Eating five meals a day isn’t an excuse to indulge in your regular meals and then some, it is meant to split up your meals so it isn’t all concentrated at once. For example, instead of eating an entire turkey sandwich in one sitting, eat one half at noon and the other half at two. This will keep you full throughout the day and kick your crazy cravings to the curb. Plus, keeping your tummy full of well-balanced foods throughout the day will speed up your metabolism and keep you going.
 
Luckily, since I started this new routine I haven’t heard my stomach growl once, and I’m feeling more energized than ever. Just be sure to keep your diet packed with nutrients and healthy goodies like fruits and veggies and you’ll be good to go!

I have anorexia but I'm slowly getting better and starting to eat again which is a good thing. My counselor showed me one of those nutrition puramids today and i think i get how meals a foods work. But the idea of eating 3 big meals a day is kind of scary and overwhelming for me cause I never really eat. Do I really have to eat 3 meals a day or can I just like have fruits and veggies and dip or something?

 

Hey girl, that's fantastic that you're getting better. I am so happy to hear that! Eventually you should definitely be getting 3 meals a day so your body and develop heathily. If it helps you, I would advice snacking on healthy foods throughout the day when you can. And when your stomach can handle it, eat more food. Work up to it, so it doesn't completely overwhelm you. Just make sure you get that food in your stomach girl! Smile

hey girlies, i noticed some of yah guys asked about metabolism? I know one thing that reallly helps, tea! not like ice teat loaded with sugar that u can buy at the store or gas station, but like hot tea at home, where i live its soooo common to drink tea like at every meal, EVERY... (but i usually dont ;P but i should!) you shouldnt add too much sugar either, and if u can no sugar at all would be good. If you try to drink tea at least twice a day (the more the better! its not fattening, so drink away!) Plus, you know what coffee does to growth and whatnot, so instead of drinking loads of that stuff before school, try black tea, it will also wake yah up~ (personally i like green tea better, but in the mornings i always favor the black stuff ;) good luck girls ^_^

I LOOOOOVE junk food! Not McDonald's food or anything, but dessert. I HAVE to have it at least once or twice a day, and I usually go for second helpings. I'm a thin, fit person, but I don't want to become the opposite because of lack of self-control. WhaT are some foods I can eat that stop the crazy cravings?!?!
