Actually, you should eat 6 times per day optimally. Here is what I was eating when I had the biggest drop in weight.
Breakfast:
1/4 Cup Egg Beaters with Mozerella Cheese, 2 pc. turkey bacon
Morning Snack: (2 hours later)
2 pc. Celery with swiss cheese spread or some cheese cubes
Lunch: (2 hours later)
Half sandwich w/lean turkey, ham, etc. (multi grain bread...think wheatberry type) and a pickle
Afternoon Snack: (2 hours later)
Cheese cubes or a small salad
Dinner: (2 hours later)
Steamed chicken breast, veggies, etc.
8 ounces of water about 12 times per day (2 glasses per meal)
Your body keeps metabolising when you eat small meals like that. When you give your body a chance to process the food and stop metabolising, it starts storing fat and stops burning calories. (When your body is in the metabolism phase, you are actually burning small amounts of calories by your body working to break down the food.)
6 small meals a day is the key plus plenty of sleep.
