How Many Meals Should You Have in a Day - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. The people that are most successful at losing weight and keeping it off tend to eat small frequent meals and they definitely eat breakfast. So I always recommend three main meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you like a few healthy snacks in between. Not only does that keep your blood sugar at an even keel it also raises your metabolic rate because when we eat it actually costs calories to metabolize. So that's another thing to keep that furnace up is to keep feeding your body with healthy lower calorie, high fiber foods that are high in protein to also increase metabolism and to take off the edge of your appetite. So, again, you want to eat healthy foods. Lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, nuts, legumes, olive oil; those heart healthy kinds of foods.
