Is it better to eat a cookie all at once or a little at a time?!
Question:
Is it better to eat a cookie all at once or a little at a time?
if i am going to eat something sugary - such as a cookie - is it better to eat it all at once or eat a little throughout the day?
my question is in regards to blood sugar - i know eating a cookie will spike it a little and cause an increase in insulin production and have read that this fluxuation contributes to weight gain.
so, is either one better? or does it really matter?
Answers:
If it's a regular cookie, I think eating it all at once is fine. If it's a huge cookie, I'd spread it out. Also, dietary wise, you should be eating several small meals in a day as opposed to just 1 or 2 big ones. If you eat small meals every day, this would seem to keep your blood sugar level more balanced because your body would always be in the process of trying to digest something, so your other body chemicals would be in balance. Maybe eat 1 small cookie during one of your small meals. You could eat another cookie later if you wanted to or balance it out with fruits/veggies/something healthy.
