Usually you eat three balanced meals with three healthy snacks. I'll give you an example so you can see what I mean.
Breakfast-English muffin and peanut butter
Morning Snack-Graham crackers with a banana
Lunch-Ham and swiss sandwich
Afternoon Snack-Apple and cheese
Dinner-Steak fajitas
Evening Snack-Peaches with yogurt [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]

By eating 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones, your metabolism gets faster, which helps your body burn fat and calories. Eating every 3 hours has this same effect, so try and do this too. What you eat is what you just said, small meals. They should be light, healthy, and partially lowfat. Some examples of small meals can be:
--Sandwhich with whole wheat bread, meat, cheese, and lettuce/tomatoe.
--Small bowl of healthy soup.
--A salad. Try and stay away from creamy dressings if you are on a diet.
--A fruit salad. Different fruits and melons with some yogurt to dip them in.
--Cheese and crackers with other toppings.
--Pita bread with Hummus or other bean spread.
russianspy1234 answered Friday July 29 2005, 2:33 pm: yeah its true it will keep your metabolism high so you will digest the food better. basically what you should do is just break up your regular meals into 6 small meals. just try not to deviate from the food pyramid too much, though on this sort of diet it is good to have a few more callories something like 2500 instead of 2000.
