2) The second recommendation in this fitness advice guide

is to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals per day. "Eating small meals causes a lower blood sugar response than large meals. A high blood sugar response provides you with quick energy, but it is associated with a large insulin release that tends to cause a blood sugar ‘crash' soon thereafter. Many small meals taken throughout the day will normalize blood sugar and insulin levels, providing a sustained and consistent energy supply to the cells. A meal every three hours or so is recommended.

A note of caution here, however: This health tip does not mean that you eat 6 big meals per day. Instead, you should take the amount of food you'd normally consume and spread it out over six meals instead of the usual three. For someone on a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that would translate into 333 calories per meal x 6 meals.
