Do you control your diet for fitness?
First of all, we should look at this problem from the purpose of sports. If the main purpose of exercise is to increase appetite, people with such needs, such as some elderly people with poor appetite and recovered patients, or people who want to gain weight, the effect of increasing food intake brought by exercise can be expected. For people who want to improve their appetite through exercise, it is better to have more meals a day than three meals a day.

However, most people take part in sports to lose fat and control their weight. For them, eating habits are just the opposite. They should control their diet and reduce their energy intake. Not only can they not eat more meals a day, but the amount of each meal needs to be controlled in order to achieve the fitness effect of losing weight and preventing chronic diseases.

If you are a general fitness enthusiast and have no special requirements for diet, you don't need to add meals. You can keep the balance between dietary energy intake and exercise energy consumption by changing food intake, as long as you follow your daily diet completely. If you want to know whether you are properly controlled, a good way is to measure your weight regularly. If you can keep your weight at a constant level, it means that the current exercise and food intake are balanced and reasonable.

In addition, there is another situation that needs attention. People who often take part in long-term exercise will have symptoms of hypoglycemia and dehydration such as thirst, hunger, dizziness, weakness and even trembling, palpitation and collapse due to the decrease of blood sugar during exercise. In order to prevent this bad situation and ensure the safety in exercise, people who take part in long-term exercise should take measures such as adding meals and rehydration during exercise to supplement the necessary energy, eliminate hunger and maintain normal blood sugar level and body fluid balance.

It can be seen that whether regular exercise is good for three meals a day or more depends on the situation. As long as the purpose of exercise and fitness is clear and the body is in a good balance, the effect of fitness can be truly achieved.
