6-a-day!

HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR ‘SIX-A-DAY?’

I have written many articles and preached the benefits of eating six meals per day to boost your metabolism and fuel muscle growth, but many people have told me that they are too full and cannot have any more than three meals. My advice would be to look at the portion size. If they are ‘family sized’, then cut the portions in half and follow these simple rules – don’t skip meals and let healthy snacks like nuts, dried fruits and protein shakes bridge the gaps between meals. It is vital to obey your body’s signals of hunger and satiety. The key is to avoid under-eating, not to just log a particular number of meals.
