Which is better for me: Eating 3 meals a day or grazing?

Is my digestion more or less efficient if I space out meals or if I eat small amounts all day long?
Answer:
Grazing is better for you, 6 smaller meals a day rather than 3 big ones is better cos it keeps you matabolism going and keeps your energy levels constant. But make sure they are healthy, remember 5 a day!!
definatly grazing, three meals a day would interfere with milking times.
my wife is a nutrionalist and she eats 5-6 meals a day but they are not big meals.
i'm not entirely sure but plenty of people tell me that it is better to eat six smaller meals a day rather than three big meals, it also depends on what you eat so if you eat healthily you'll be fine.
i chose nibbling coz it's more healthier :)
try it, and you would lose at least 3 pounds per week!
( no exercise required )
i think a lot of us worry to much about diet...i'm just trying to listen to what my body wants...i get hungry when i get hungry and that's when i eat...simple...
Try and eat 5-6 small meals a day,that is best for you.If you are going to eat inbetween meals try and eat healthy.
I tend to eat 5 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks morning and afternoon), and try to stop eating by 8.30pm. This is because smaller meals more often help to keep energy levels high, and blood sugar levels more constant. I try to stick to proteins (white meat, fish, pulses, nuts, seeds etc) and complex carbohydrates (green veg, brown rice/pasta, fresh fruit, salads etc) as these give the best long-term energy and their fibre content aids digestion. I try to avoid simple carbohydrates (sugars of any kind) as these cause insulin levels to soar, making the body store the extra sugar as fat instead of burning it off.The reason for stopping eating by 8.30pm is that by 10pm, your body is getting ready for sleep and the digestive system begins to slow. If you still have lots of undigested food in your stomach at this time, it can disrupt sleep and also tends to end up getting stored as fat. We don't need food to sleep!These principles come from the GI diet, about which there are loads of websites available if you want to find out more info.
Graze!
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the
Food Pyramid.
*I don't know if I'm allowed to say this but if you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely. I don't make money on this if you decide to buy.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want
tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
