Sport 6 Meals a Day?

[Incubus]

I've heard that having six smaller meals a day will give you better results, than 3 meals a day will. With that said, what would be some good food for smaller meals? like a snack type thing in between meals. would a cliff bar be good?

Yep 6 meals a day is better than 3.

Sorry i don't know what a cliff bar is.

Read around for ideas on healthy snacks, basically things like fruit, veg, oat biscuits, or some thing with protein in, that type of thing.

Get the idea??

some things I like for my smaller meals are:

-about 10-15 almonds (unsalted) and some dried cranberries (unsweetened)

-smoothies made with berries and protein powder with either skim milk or fat free yogurt

-cottage cheese and fruit

-celery and peanut butter (usually not more that 1 Tablespoon for me tho)

the nice thing about some of these is that you can change them slightly so you dont get bored, like add some dried cranberries on the peanut butter, using different fruit in the smoothies or cottage cheese

I would try to make all meals the same size, rather than having big meals and snacks.

I always eat eggs, sometimes with grilled tomatoes if I have time, by cooking tomatoes you can increase their level of Lysopene

You dont have to have "breakfast" type foods just because it is breakfast.

I usually have 5 egg whites, 2 yolks, and some shredded chicken breast with salsa. (Then I eat spinach raw, ewwww)
