The
Importance of Eating
Smaller, More Frequent Meals
Build Muscle, Lose Body Fat, And Have More Energy Throughout The Day By Adopting More Efficient Eating Habits
By Skip La Cour

One
of the most important keys to building muscle, losing body fat, and feeling
energetic throughout the day is controlling your metabolism. Metabolism is the
chemical changes, procedure, or process that the nutrients in your food go
through once eaten. Those nutrients will be either absorbed and become part of
the body, absorbed and be used for energy, or be excreted through waste.
If
you can influence the efficiency of your metabolism, you can build more
rock-solid muscle. If you can get your body can efficiently use most of the
high-quality protein you eat every day, you’ll have a better chance of
packing-on more muscle over time. The “mass” you eat (in the form of
high-quality protein) will turn into “mass” on your body (in the form of
high-quality muscle) if the body uses it efficiently enough.
The
human body’s “famine defense mechanism” (what it does to avoid dying in
the event there’s a long period of time without food) is to hold onto some
body fat and keep it as a safety reserve at all times. If you can successfully
influence the efficiency of your metabolism, your body will start getting
conditioned to hold onto less body fat. Think of your body telling itself, “I
get fed so well and on a consistent basis, I don’t need to carry around this
extra body fat. I won’t ever need it!”
Your
body will either speed up its metabolism up and supply you with more energy
throughout your day or slow it down to conserve what little energy it has left
depending on how efficiently you eat. Your body simply will not let you “run
itself into the ground.” If your body isn’t supplied with a steady stream of
nutrients that it can easily convert into energy, it will start shutting itself
down. Your body will give you less energy to work with. Your body isn’t going
to let you kill yourself, you know. That’s another one of the safety
mechanisms it uses to keep itself alive.
Eating smaller, more frequent meals is a sound nutritional strategy that can help you build muscle, lose body fat, and keep your energy levels high. Eating smaller, more frequent meals is a great way to control your metabolism.
Consuming
six or so meals spread evenly throughout the day that totals 2,500 calories,
let’s say, is much more efficient than eating only two meals equaling the same
amount.
Understanding
How To Influence Your Metabolism Is As Easy As “Child’s Play”
Here’s an analogy I like to
use to illustrate the importance of eating smaller more frequent meals
throughout the day. Did you or your brother ever have those “Hot Wheels” toy
cars when you were a kid? If you or your brother did, then you already know that
“Hot Wheels” are those tiny toy cars that you have to push around in order
to make them go (they have no motors or remote controls).
You can also buy track pieces
for your “Hot Wheels” cars to race around on. Do you remember those orange
track pieces that you would put together with those purple track connectors? (By
the way, the loop-de-loop, or the full-circle roller coaster-like section, was
my favorite part of the track.)
If you really wanted to have
a top-of-the-line experience with your “Hot Wheels” cars and track, you
could also buy “Power Stations.” “Power Stations” were the houses that
straddled the orange track. These special houses had battery-powered wheels
spinning inside of them. Because the cars had no motors, the spinning wheels
inside the “Power Stations” would propel the “Hot Wheels” around the
track when they went through them.
Stick with me; the point of
this story is coming soon.
If you strategically placed
these “Power Stations” around the track, your car could race around the
track continuously and at an even pace. You couldn’t spread them too far apart
or the cars would eventually slow down and wouldn’t have enough power to reach
the next “Power Station.” The goal was to have the “Hot Wheels” rumble
around the track at a smooth and even pace. If the “Power Stations” were
spread apart unevenly and inconsistently, the cars would go around the track in
a herky-jerky manner; fast then slow; fast then slow; and fast then slow.
If you are following my analogy, then you realize the “Hot Wheels” car would symbolize your metabolism. The “Power Stations” would represent your nutritious meals. The orange, circular track would be analogous to your day.
You need to make sure you
have enough meals to “power” your way throughout your day. And, you need to
make sure those meals are spaced out evenly in order for your metabolism to run
smoothly, evenly, and efficiently all day long.
Controlling your metabolism in this manner throughout the day; throughout the week, throughout the month; and throughout the entire year will undoubtedly get you closer to the physique you’ve always dreamed of having. You soon see that when you follow the nutritional strategy of eating smaller, more frequent meals, you’ll build more muscle, lose more body fat, and have more energy to live life to the fullest!
