Failure to eat every 2-3 hours ( men every 2, women every 3 ) has it's consequences.
You will be risking a growing appetite and a subsequent binge by skipping meals when you go longer than 3-4 hours between meals. Your body will also go into starvation mode and hold on to every calorie you put in your mouth for these times of "starvation"! If you want your body to be a calorie burning machine, one of the most important things you can do is eat healthy foods regularly.
These days most people are so busy that they forget to do the most important things to improve their health and physique- eat and sleep!
Eat an apple or carrot sticks on your way home from work so that when you arrive home you aren't starving, and will have better control of your appetite and food intake. Eat a salad or bowl of raw vegetables before lunch and dinner, this will help control your portion sizes and high-calorie foods at meal times.
Get in the habit of sitting down for a few moments at the start of each week to create a daily and/or weekly meal plan ( grocery list). This will provide structure to your daily meals and you wont feel so overwhelmed by what you may be eating that day.
Remember: IF WE FAIL TO PLAN- WE PLAN TO FAIL!
