RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

If you don't eat for hours & hours (i.e 1-2 meals/day) your insulin (blood sugar) levels begin to plummet. When you finally eat they spike. This up & down causes body fat gain. Eating 5-6 SMALL meals/snacks a day, eating every 2-3hrs will keep your metabolism high & keep your insulin levels stable preventing body fat gain.

*For the average individual: Your meals should be 300-350cal max, and your snacks should be 100-150cal max.
