Dear steemians

The density of activity and fast paced activity make sure to skip meals. Whether consciously, or not.
Sometimes we do not realize that the body needs nutrients in rush hours, so that at the end of the day the hunger just came and make the appetite uncontrollably well. As a result you eat when the body does not need too much energy, and lack of nutrition just when it needs it.

If lunch so often forgotten because it is too busy, you can menyiasatinya by multiplying the meal to avoid ulcer disease and controlled appetite.
Increasing hours of eating, does not mean increase the portion of the meal. But to keep energy stable all day. Diet experts recommend eating four to five meals a day, every few hours.

Not only the frequency of eating is important. Your diet also needs to be noticed. A diet that is either a snack or a main meal should contain complete nutrition such as carbohydrates, protein, fiber and fat.

Carbohydrates serve as energy providers while protein and fat have a filling effect. "When you add fat and protein into carbohydrates, carbohydrates will be released slowly into the bloodstream and food will be digested much more slowly," says nutritionist from Toronto Abby Langer, R.D.

you will feel full longer and there will be no spike or decrease in blood sugar," added Abby.

When is the recommended snack time between meals, and what should be eaten?

10.00 - 10.30
Also called a brunch, snacking on these hours will keep your blood sugar and energy steady when you're late or skip lunch. Brigitte suggests a brunch should be no more than 200 calories at a time. Snacks that can be selected at this hour can be an ounce of nuts because of high protein, fiber and healthy fats.
Another alternative is a piece of whole wheat bread with avocado slices, cheese spread or peanut butter. Wheat bread rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, combined with a spread of fat and protein will provide adequate nutrition and stomach feels full until lunch hour.
16: 00 - 16.30
Naturally if you are hungry a few hours after lunch and feel like snacking. Eating a snack before dinner is not 'forbidden' is even advisable to prevent you from eating at night. Also at this hour blood sugar is also decreased so the body needs additional energy.

Fruit is highly recommended as an afternoon snack. You can eat apples or bananas with peanut butter as an additional protein. Almonds are generally healthier than peanuts. But because the calories and cholesterol are also high, limit the consumption of only one tablespoon once a meal. Other alternatives are dates and cheeses, or popcorn with a bit of melted butter tasteless.
