WHY AND HOW TO BEGIN SCHEDULED EATING

Consider the advantages of sustaining a steady level of energy throughout the day rather than consuming meals in large portions. You may improve your digestive health and avoid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease by planning your meals and snacks and creating a nutritious diet.
THIS IS WHAT A HEALTHY EATING SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE
Your body has processed all the nutrients it received during sleep and is prepared to produce energy within an hour of waking up. Select foods that are high in protein and low in sugar and carbohydrates if you want energy that lasts all morning without crashing.
A small, low-calorie snack after three hours should last you until lunch.
Your body will require a stronger boost after five hours of breakfast, to keep your metabolism active. Here, you should emphasize complex carbohydrates, fiber, healthy fats, and lean proteins like chicken or fish.
Once more, aim for a light and low-calorie snack around three hours after lunch, when you start to experience those afternoon grumbles.
Lastly, your dinner should consist of protein, complex carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables at least three hours before bed.
Eating every three to four hours is the ideal schedule for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and allowing your stomach to digest food to its fullest.
