I have found that mini meals are amazing. I mean they say in some diets that you should eat 3 meals and then 2 snacks, why not just 5 meals. I mean they would all be about the same size, and frankly it keeps your metabolism going to eat smaller meals throughout the day without necessarily allowing it to store as much fat, which is what you should be aiming for. Some meals can be bigger, if they have the right kinds of foods.
For example, a meal made up of fruit salad entirely without any added sugar or any of that, well those have been quite big for me. On the other hand, when you are eating lean meats even, then logically speaking it is quickly filling to some degree, and it has more calories. So you would eat smaller portions. And frankly, grabbing an apple in the middle of the day is much easier than actually having to go out, sit down, wait for them to prepare a real meal, and otherwise waiting around. You would be surprised how easy eating frequently actually is. That’s partly why I do it. Despite what you may actively think, it is actively easier, and isn’t that why we often go for fast food or otherwise, because we think it’s easier when it’s actually not.
