Many people skip breakfast because they don't have the time, they have a decent lunch and then a huge dinner. continued below... |

Avoid this at all costs...
When you wake up, your body is screaming for food...it needs it! By skipping breakfast you're depriving your body of nutrients it needs and forcing it to go into hiberation mode, thus slowing down your metabolism. Dinner should be your lightest meal of the day because your metabolism is at its slowest...yet for many people, it's their largest.
That being said...
The ideal eating schedule is to have a small, healthy meal every 2-3 hours (healthy sandwich, protein shake, peanut butter, fruit, healthy fats, whole grains, nuts etc). Your body isn't made for digesting huge portions of foods. By eating small meals every 2-3 hours, you keep your metabolism at top speed.
And it really isn't all that difficult. Go out and buy nutrition bars (but pay close attention to the ingredients- Kashi bars are great)...buy good fat like peanut butter and almonds...fruit like apples and berries, whole grains breads- these are all foods you can bring to work with you. It's what I do every day so I know it's possible.
To sum things up, you need to change your habits so you're eating small, healthy meals every 2-3 hours. This will keep your metabolism at top speed, your digestive system healthy and your body in peak performance.
If this is completely impossible for you, at least make sure your breakfast is your biggest meal of the day, lunch your second biggest, and dinner your smallest. And don't forget to drink water!
Try this for a month or two...combine it with exercise and nutritional supplements and you'll be amazed at how great you feel.
