When trying to slender down,we're bombarded with what foods to eat and how much, but it's not the only thing you need to consider about. Timing is important, or too. whether you've had issues slimming down,check out the info below to see when to eat each meal and snack to optimize your weight-loss results.
Breakfast: Don't skip breakfast, and be sure to eat your morning meal within an hour of waking to jump-start your metabolism, and consuming 25 percent of your daily calories. Example: 7 a.m.
Morning snack: Eat two to three hours after breakfast. This will keep blood sugar levels steady to avoid the low-energy sluggishness that makes you reach for high-calorie treats. Snacking also prevents the famished feeling that makes you inhale way more calories at your next meal than you would whether you weren't plagued by starvation pains. Stick to 150 calories or less,about five percent of your daily calories. Example: 9:30 a.m.
Lunch: Your midday meal should be eaten two to three hours after your morning snack. Try to make lunch your largest meal of the day. Consuming more calories midday than at breakfast or dinner ensures you have enough time to burn all those calories, about 40 percent of your total daily calories. Example: 12:30 p.m.
Afternoon snack: delight in your snack two to three hours after lunch. Stick to 150 calories or less, and about five percent of your daily calories. Example: 3:30 p.m.
Dinner: Eat the final 25 percent of your daily calories at dinner,about two to three hours after your afternoon snack. Finish your evening meal two to three hours before going to bed. Eating too close to bedtime can raise your body temperature and your insulin and blood sugar levels, cause heartburn or digestive issues, or prevent the release of melatonin - all of which can interfere with the chubby-burning benefits associated with getting a restful night's sleep. Example: 6:30 p.m.
