If you want to see results fast, it's more conducive to eat several smaller meals throughout the day because they're easier to digest than three big meals. This also ensures your metabolism stays stimulated all day long and burns more calories. Don't let food be an afterthought, even if you have a busy schedule. Weekend meal prep is the best way to ensure your meals and snacks are covered, leaving you no room for excuses to get takeout. And when you eat, sit down and chew your food thoroughly. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register fullness, so don't wolf down more than you can stomach.
