However, most studies show that there is no difference between eating fewer meals and three meals a day under the condition of fixed calorie intake.
It is suggested to decide whether to add meals after three meals according to satiety and hunger. If you eat at dinner, you will be full. Add meals when you are hungry between meals. If you are not hungry between meals, don't add meals.
Hunger will be obvious if you miss one dinner. It is easier to find high-energy snacks when you are hungry, and it is more difficult to resist the temptation of food.
If you eat less than one meal, the energy deficit will be large, and the body will easily break down muscles for energy supply, thus reducing basal metabolism and reducing the energy consumed by the body.
Eating less will also make the body mistakenly think that there is famine, so it will shut down some functions, and there will be symptoms such as fatigue, inattention and menstrual disorder.
Therefore, we should eat enough for dinner, but we can reduce energy intake by matching the thickness of staple food and cooking vegetables lightly.
Eat less. The food outside is so fragrant (so heavy in oil), you will have more if you take a bite of this and that.
Eat less snacks. Except for dinner, if you are not hungry, don't add meals. All kinds of snacks are hot bombs. Feeling that eating less is really taking in a lot of energy.
Balanced collocation of dinner. Protein is indispensable to eat more light dishes and moderate staple food.
