Question:

Why meal timing is so important?

 

Answer:

Like a medication, you want to control the body's utilization of protein and carbohydrate consistently throughout the day, and you must eat a minimum of 3 meals and 2 snacks. A zone meal should provide you with 4-5 hours in the Zone, whereas a snack is good for approximately 2-2.5 hours. Additionally, you must eat within one hour after waking and don't forget your afternoon and late-night snack. You must eat every 4-5 hours whether you're hungry or not, no matter how busy you might be to stay in the Zone. In fact, lack of hunger without cravings for sugars and sweets coupled with good mental focus is a good indicator that you're in the Zone. Like planning your daily activities, meal and snack times must be planned accordingly. Based on your wake up time determine those time points throughout the day when it's time to eat your next meal or snack.
