There have been some recent posts wondering which is better, three square meals a day (as suggested in Just Stop Eating So Much!) or eating six mini meals a day.
Yesterday (Sunday, 09/31) in PARADE Magazine, Joy Bauer debunked food myths in "8 Food Myths Busted." In the informative piece, she had this to say about the debate mentioned above.
Food Myth: "It's better to eat six mini meals than three squares." -- INCORRECT!
Author Joy Bauer goes onto write: "As long as your food choices for the entire day are healthy and not too high in calories, either eating style can work. I find that many people prefer to eat more volume less frequently because of the hectic schedules or heartier appetites. If that sounds like you, just be sure to keep your daily calories in check, and try not to go longer than four to five hours without eating. Doing so may make your blood sugar drop, causing low energy, headaches, and overeating in response to feeling blah. Have small snacks on hand -- such as fruit, nonfat yogurt, or a bag of baby carrots -- in case you're running late for lunch or dinner."
