HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU EAT?

For years the average American diet has been based upon eating three times a day, the standard breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, our bodies don’t like to eat large meals three times a day. If our bodies used food the way camels use water, then this method of eating three large meals a day would be great, because our bodies would just use the nutrients we eat as we need them. Unfortunately, every time we eat our bodies can only use a small portion of what we have eaten and then they have to do something with the rest of it. It has nowhere else to go except into fat.

Metabolism is the general system the body uses for fat burning. Any movement you make, no matter how little, results when you are thinking about burning calories.

The more rigorous your body movements are, the faster your metabolism works.

People that have minor body fat as well as a lot of muscle mass, tend to have a faster metabolism, which means they burn calories faster than those who have greater body fat. What this means is that if you are when it plays a part in shape, you will possibly have a faster metabolism as well as burn more calories.
