Schedule your meals each day in a way that works with your lifestyle. Sure, eating chips, cake, cookies, pizza, or other high-calorie, high-fat or sugary foods can put you at a higher risk of gaining body fat.
The act of eating alone does not, however. The big reason why people tend to lose weight when they choose to cut out their evening snack is simply due to what they were snacking on in the first place.
Another common myth is the metabolic boosting myth. Think that eating six mini-meals per day means a lightning-fast metabolic rate? The thing to note about meal frequency and your metabolic rate is that it is true that you will experience a metabolic boost when you consume food after a meal.
But, that boost is directly related to the total calorie content of the food that you consume. So a smaller meal produces a smaller metabolic boost and a larger meal produces a larger one. Frequent eating doesn't mean your metabolic rate will be on fire.
While it may help you control hunger better by eating more often, it will not impact your metabolic rate. Finally, the last meal timing myth that you need to know about is the nibbling myth. Are you falling for any of these meal timing myths? If so, make some changes in how you view your nutrition plan to ensure you stay on track to success.

So remember: If you want to drop pounds, don't hit your snooze button, grab a glass of water, and be sure to fuel up within 30 minutes!
