Can Eating 6 Meals A Day Help You To Lose Weight?

There are many different methods and weight loss meal plans when it comes to losing weight. Some of the meal plans deal with eating only certain types of food, such as vegetables and fruits. Some have you only eating protein. However, all of them have to do with what you eat. So does it not make sense to build your weight loss plan around how you eat...or in this case, how often you eat?

By eating many small meals during the day, you are giving your body a balanced diet that is full of the calories that are needed to fuel your body. Without these calories, your body will shut down and your metabolic rate will slow so that it is almost impossible to lose weight. But what should you eat during the six meals? Here is a low fat weight loss plan for you:

Breakfast - 1 to 2 scrambled eggs without butter, 1 slice of wheat toast with peanut butter spread

Snack - 1 red or green apple and some almonds or cashews

Lunch - 3 oz of chicken breast (preferably white meat), salad with tomato and onion and a low calorie dressing

Snack - String cheese or yogurt

Dinner - 3 ounces of chicken breast or tuna, 2 oz of wheat pasta or green beans and a small salad

Late Snack - 1 red or green apple (for dessert)

You would be surprised how filling a weight loss meal plan like this actually is. By eating many smaller meals, you are giving your body the calories it needs in a balanced way. Therefore, your body will store less of the excess calories, and your metabolism will continue at a steady fat burning pace.

After eating this way, in about 2 weeks, you will start to see the results. Do not be discouraged at the beginning because your body will not be used to this way of eating and you will feel hungry. But just let this method take effect and you will be on your way to shedding the weight you want to lose!
