6 small meals?!


Question:

6 small meals?

Ok, when people say to eat 6 small meals a day....how small are the meals? Like would a small meal be considered a bowl of cereal? Or an apple?


Answers:

It can be. Usually a small meal would contain two elements, such as a protein and vegetable, or protein and bread. A bowl of cereal with milk would qualify, but it would have to be a small one without a lot of calories. If you eat more frequently like this, you have to eat less at a sitting. A good rule of thumb is to eat when you're hungry, but just a little bit. You'd be surprised how little it takes to erase the hunger, especially if you eat slowly. I'm diabetic and have had a lifetime battle with weight. If you like to snack or graze, this is a good way to eat. If you like big meals, like a large supper, this is not for you.
