First of all, you should never skip meals! It's bad for your stomach, bad for your blood sugar and makes you feel really bad.



When you skip meals, you feel lousy because food gives us energy (particularly when we eat the right kinds of foods). Because you have missed meals, you may faint, feel nauseous or dizzy or overeat at the next meal.



What you need to do is find out what your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) is. Your RMR is the amount of calories your body burns at rest, for example, when you are sleeping. It is also the number of calories that your body needs to maintain your present weight.



If, for example, your RMR is 1400, then you would need to eat approximately that number of calories a day to maintain your weight; if you wanted to gain weight then you would consume more and if you wanted to lose weight, then you would consume less (never less than 1200 calories for a woman and never less than 1500 for a man).



Figure out how many hours you are awake in the day, say for example if you wake up at 6 a.m. and go to bed by 10 p.m. then you are awake for approximately 16 hours. Try to split your meals up so you are having 4-6 smaller meals every 2.5 - 4 hours, i.e. your meals are evenly spaced. Divide the amount of calories you need (in the example I gave, 1400) between those 4-6 meals.



So if you are having four meals a day, then each meal should be around 350 calories; if you're having 6 meals, each should be about 230 calories.



350 calories is a couple slices of whole wheat bread with about 4 ozs. tuna and a small salad (use vinaigrette dressing) or a grilled, baked or roasted chicken breast with a 1/2 cup brown rice and steamed broccoli and a half cup of grapes (or a cup of strawberries or a large orange...you get the picture).



Or it can be 4 ozs. ground turkey (try getting the leaner ground turkey to cut down on fat and calories), a 1/2 cup of spaghetti with a little sauce (use ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and a little hot pepper sauce instead of the prepackaged sauces on the market) and a fruit.



As you can see just by these three examples, there are options for meals that are tasty, nutritious and yet meet your caloric needs.



Another option is having a meal replacement PROTEIN shake that has good carbs, a good amount of protein and not too much fat or sugars. Try to find one that has at least 10 grams of protein and not more than about 15 grams of carbs. Otherwise you may find that the shake makes you hungrier and that you “crash” because of too much sugar.

eat more often.



Now, wait minute, don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy. honest! lol



If you decrease the amount you take in at one time and eat more often you also boost your metabolism. Just remember to eat healthy.



You should eat about every 2 hours 6-8-times a day. now, the in between meals should Not be meals, they should be very small snacks. Like 1/2 and apple and 2 crackers or a small yogurt. have a good breakfast, lunch and dinner, just make smaller portions. besides eating every 2 hours you won't really want to eat so much.

enable me initiate by technique of retaining that depending on your proper and weight, you fall solidly into the "known weight" classification. Your weight is going to determination in the course of the day. that is necessary that you weigh your self mutually on a daily basis, and purely then are you able to initiate making a vogue of your weight. for example, weigh your self each and each and every morning once you get off the mattress, and then evaluate your self for your weight the subsequent day. (Or extra useful yet, in some days). The basic answer for your questions is that you'll likely shed weight on your weight-relief plan, yet purely because the great weight-relief plan is a blend of decreased energy and higher pastime. in case you sense depressing in the course of the day waiting for that second once you could finally eat, you danger binge eating, and ought to easily be worse off on the proper of the day because you've ate up many extra energy than you've otherwise. in the adventure that your objective in an afternoon is, say 1500 energy, there is not any earnings to eating a unmarried 1500 calorie meal, or eating a 500 calorie breakfast and 1000 calorie dinner (even if the probability is that you'll be able to eat a unmarried 2000 calorie meal in case you've waited all day). increasing your pastime by technique of walking to varsity appears like a surprising concept! utilising Wii in effective condition is likewise useful in burning some energy. at the same time as there is not any thanks to particularly objective weight relief, you could paintings to construct muscle specifically parts inclusive of your calves. you ought to even see an initial (small) weight benefit as muscle is heavier than fat, even if that's going to advance your metabolism contained in the lengthy-run and the muscle mass will outline your body. solid luck!!

exercise. And stay away from food that contains high amount of fat. Cut down on carbs (rice, pasta, bread, potatoes etc) and have more veggies/fruits and lean meat.
