The best way to distribute meals throughout the day

When we talk about following a life as healthy and healthy as possible (which is simple and easy if you finally propose it), we pay special attention both in our own diet and in the diet that we follow every day. And it is very important that, on the one hand, the food is healthy and healthy, while on the other, the diet is balanced.

At this point we find something fundamental: how to distribute meals and food throughout the day. Why? Very simple: a correct and adequate distribution of food guarantees a correct supply of nutrients, especially in an appropriate way.

How to distribute the meals throughout the day?

Many nutritionists advise to make five meals a day, highlighting 3 important meals (such as breakfast, lunch and dinner), and 2 lighter meals (preferably mid-morning and afternoon).

Breakfast

How many times have you stopped having breakfast simply because you were not hungry? There are even people who tend never to eat breakfast, making it a habit. However, it is a serious mistake, since it becomes one of the most important meals of the day.

The breakfast gives us energy, enough and necessary to start the day and guaranteeing us the correct contribution of nutrients for a good physical and intellectual performance.

Do not miss the slow-absorbing carbohydrates, such as bread and whole grains. Nor should be missing vegetable drinks (such as rice milk or oatmeal) and one or two pieces of fruit.

Midmorning (lunch)

It is advisable to opt for a skimmed yogurt, a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts. We should not fill up much, since the main objective is to keep energized and sated until the time of the meal, since precisely we are mid-morning, between breakfast and lunch.

Food

It is the ideal time to disconnect from work or college and share it with family or friends. It accounts for 35% of the distribution of calories throughout the day, and it is advisable to start with a plate of spoon or a salad and then opt for second courses, such as fish or lean meat.

Snack

It is a useful option to give our body a little more energy, but always in a moderate way and without abuse. Therefore, pieces of fruit, skimmed yogurt or a small vegetable sandwich are recommended.

Products such as pastries, sweets and sweets are not recommended.

Dinner

It is very important that we eat at least 3 hours before going to bed, and that it is not too much food, nor too heavy to not suffer from heavy digestion and problems to rest well.

Fried, fatty or highly spiced foods are not recommended, and foods rich in slow-absorbing carbohydrates are recommended.
