Eat Smaller, More Frequent Meals to Stabilize Energy
The Problem
You eat a huge lunch and crash at 2 PM. Or you skip meals and then overeat.
The Hack
Instead of 3 large meals, eat 3 moderate meals and 2 small protein-rich snacks (10 AM and 3 PM). Keep meals to 400-600 calories, snacks to 150-200 calories.
Why It Works
Large meals spike and crash blood sugar. Smaller, more frequent meals maintain a steady glucose level — providing consistent energy without the post-meal crash.
Pro Tips
- Snack ideas: nuts, Greek yogurt, apple + peanut butter, cheese + crackers
- Include protein in every meal and snack
- This doesn't mean eating more total calories — just spreading them out
- Blood sugar stability = steady energy all day
