These issues only work toward deteriorating an individual’s health.

Doctors and experts says that, the only solution to avoiding such health issues is, to plan when you will eat. Set yourself up for mealtime success with these tips and learn why eating your meals at regular intervals throughout the day can help you manage dramatic hunger pains and mood swings.

What Is the Right Time To Eat Your…………..

Breakfast-  

Breakfast is all about breaking the “fast” of a night without eating. It also sets the stage for your nutrition for the entire day and gives you the energy you need to face what the day will bring.

Starting the day on an empty stomach can leave you feeling drained and reaching for a candy jar or bag of chips by mid-morning. Plan to eat breakfast within an hour of waking. This way, your breakfast doesn’t blend into a mid-morning snack or grazing followed closely by lunch.

Lunch

Lunch should be about four to five hours after breakfast. For example, if you ate breakfast at 7 am, eat lunch between 11 am and noon. If it is not possible for you to eat lunch until 2 pm on a particular day, then plan a snack in between those two meals.

For mid-day snack, prefer food items mix of protein and carbohydrates. For example, eat a low-fat cheese stick with an apple, or one to two cups of vegetables with one-fourth cup of hummus. The goal is to prevent becoming overly hungry between meals, which can lead to snack time beginning the moment you get home from work.

Dinner

Many people tend to overeat at dinner because they have not eaten enough throughout the day. Dinnertime should follow the same schedule as your earlier meals, making sure there is no more than a four- to five-hour window between lunch and dinner. Some people will need to eat a snack between lunch and dinner because eating dinner at 4 or 5 pm is not always realistic.

What To Do If You’re Not Hungry………….

Many a time people do not feel hungry at meal times, especially during their breakfast. This happens because you have habituated your body in such a way that it do not send hunger signals. You must know that food is simply the fuel to your body, and your body need it on right time to stay energetic all day long.
