Common conclusions

Great! Breakfast is sometimes referred to as "the most important meal of the day." Breakfast improves your energy levels, improves metabolism, stabilises your blood sugar levels, reduces you chance of over-consuming high kilojoule foods later in the day, etc. In general, missing breakfast or every other meal during the day has no advantages.

You should eat every three to four hours and strive for six small meals during the day. Avoid cramming all of your calories into three large meals, as this will make you feel slow. At each meal, you should consume at least 20-30 grams of protein. Easy carbohydrates should be consumed immediately before and during training sessions.

It seems that eating three times a day will help you stay full and reduce hunger. Eating small, well-balanced meals every three hours helps the body burn fat more effectively. This is beneficial to weight loss. When you eat less than three times a day, you're more likely to overeat and eat less nutritious foods. Additionally, food quality can aid in hunger control and weight loss.

The ideal diabetes meal plan will offer menus for three meals a day, plus snacks. If you have diabetes, you should focus on eating lean protein, high-fiber, less processed carbs, fruits, and vegetables.

According to science, eating three small meals and two to three snacks in between can be best for your metabolism.
