Did you know that eating small portions can help maintain optimal health?
1. Reduce calorie intake
1. Reduce calorie intake
By eating small portions, you reduce the number of calories you are putting in your body, thereby reducing your chances of developing obesity. Research has shown that people who eat only two to three large meals per day are much more likely to become overweight than those who eat more frequent, smaller meals.
2. Maintain blood sugar levels
2. Maintain blood sugar levels
Eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day will also help to maintain constant blood sugar levels. Your blood sugar helps to give you energy throughout the day. Therefore, a low blood sugar makes you feel tired, sluggish and slow. Each time you eat, your body releases blood sugar from the food. If you eat small meals frequently, you will receive a steady stream of blood sugar, thereby preventing blood sugar "crashes."
In contrast, if you eat larger portions only once or twice per day, your blood sugar will spike much higher after eating these meals, and similarly will crash a short while later. This can be especially dangerous to people who suffer from diabetes or other insulin-related conditions.

3. Prevent metabolism crash
Your metabolism is a function of your body that works to digest food. When you eat large meals at a more infrequent rate, your metabolism experiences large chunks of time when it is not active. When this happens, your metabolism begins to the slow the pace at which it works. This can result in substantial weight gain, and many potentially even lead to the development of obesity.
Therefore, by eating frequently, your metabolism will be working regularly and maintain its ability to do work.
4. Prevent nutrition imbalances
Eating small portions several times per day may help prevent nutritional imbalances. When you eat several different meals throughout the day the tendency to eat different things at each meal is higher, thereby getting a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, fiber, lean meats and dairy products.
