An important role is played by the number of meals per day, and the proper distribution of the daily food intake between meals. Nutritionists have found that the most correct and desirable, there are three or four times a day.
Distribution of food should be done in such a way that for breakfast accounted for 30% of energy intake at lunch - 45%, and for dinner - 25%.
Best breakfast before work day, so the body can get this food, which would cover all of its costs in the first half of the day. Lunch - main meal, so it should account for just under half of the daily diet. The last meal - a dinner that should not burden the digestive system, and therefore its share should be reported under a quarter of the daily diet.
In the distribution of food intake between individual meals should uchestne both quantitative and qualitative composition of food. Foods rich in protein (meat, fish, beans), which requires a longer time to digest, must be submitted for breakfast and lunch, at a time when the activity of the organism is most active. For dinner should eat lighter meals are digested quickly.
Note also that every meal should bring a feeling of fullness for a certain period of time. A feeling of fullness depends on the composition of food, from its calorific value and volume. Enough high-calorie, but small in terms of food seem nesytnoy.
The duration of satiety also depends on the length of stay of food in the stomach, which is largely caused and the way it is prepared. Dishes mashed, pureed quickly digested stomach, dairy and some fish dishes are digested faster than meat.
Compliance with the correct diet - is critical to maintaining health, preventing diseases of the digestive system and to improve disability rights.
