The average person will eat 3 meals a day. A typical meal is often made up of processed foods that are quick and easy to eat. When following this nutrition model it is very difficult to function at peak performance. As you exercise and increase your daily activity, the demand for a good nutrition plan should become a larger priority.
Research has shown that eating meals every 2-3 hours is important for several reasons. Consistent food intake will increase your metabolism, change your body composition, increase your performance and maintain your blood sugar at a balanced level.
Here are a few tips to help establish your nutrition plan:
- Eat balance meals and snacks every 2-3 hours
- Eat a palm size portion of lean protein with every meal
- Fill your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables before you add any type of starch to your meal
- Plan your meals and snacks a few days in advance
- Eat even when you are not hungry
