Split your meals to lose weight

One of the easiest ways to look at food consumption is to eat six meals a day. Each of these meals should have protein, carbohydrates and should give you energy. Eat what your body can assimilate once every three hours or so. Here is why you should split your meals and how it helps to lose weight.

1. Eating a smaller meal helps your body to metabolize the food you consumed
   
2. Longer gaps between meals make your body store food as fat. Small well spaced meals solve this problem.
   
3. Your blood sugar will fluctuate a lot during the day if you have a big meal then a long break and then another meal and you will feel your energy constantly going up and down.
4. Small meals mean more choice and variation in what you eat and enjoy food
5. You feel lighter and less bloated

Make sure you add a lot of fruits, proteins and carbs to your diet. A diet comprising 25 to 30% proteins, 50 to 55% carbohydrates is advised.

Try eating smaller servings at every meal of the day and see if it makes a difference to how you feel.
