Answers:
the easiest way to know what you are eating in a day is to read the back of your food labels!. It gives you a serving size and tells you how many calories are in the serving!.
You need to know exactly how many calories your body requires in a day!

1/4 cup brown rice = 170 calories
1 oz or 56 grams of pasta = 200 calories
1 medium baked potato = 80 calories
1 oz of chicken breast = 112 calories
3 oz steak =765 calories

Try to have the majority of your calories from Carbs 60 %(fruits, veggies, pasta, bread, rice) that's your main energy source

Have 20% protein ( lean meats or soy/tofu etc) the good news about plant protien is that it's saturated fat and cholesterol free

Have 20% fat from plants (nuts, flax oil, avocados, walnut oil)
Some people split the fat and have 10% saturated fat and the other 10% healthy fat!.

Does Eating Little and Often Help Weight Loss!?
Yes, it is generally believed that eating three smaller regular meals, plus mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks is the best way to lose weight!.

Regular eating tends to maintain a balanced sugar level in the blood, prevents hunger and helps us to avoid overeating!.

Eating little and often is also believed to maintain our metabolism at peak rate!.

Ideally, eat something small (even a piece of fruit) every 3 hours (women)Www@Answer-Health@Com
