You may ask yourself: Do I put on the feedbag for meals, or eat smaller portions and healthy snacks during the day? Here's what Go Ask Alice (www.goaskalice.columbia.edu) has to say: Many of the articles on "nutrition" in fashion magazines suggest the "right" times to eat and the number of meals to eat to prevent weight gain. It is common to hear that eating late at night causes excess fat to be produced. This is not true -- it is OVEReating at any time, not simply eating at night, that causes someone to gain weight, particularly if they're not exercising or expending enough energy during the day. ...
The bottom line is: eat when you're hungry and avoid overeating. The number of meals you have per day and when should depend upon your schedule and the total number of calories you want to take in. If you lead a typical student lifestyle, three meals a day may not work best for you. ... Carrying healthy snacks with you during the day is the best way to avoid overeating at meals.
Any thoughts?
