3. Eat Breakfast like a Prince, Lunch like a King, and Dinner Like a Pauper.

A solid breakfast is critical to jump starting your metabolism and keeping you energized through the morning. When you repeatedly skip breakfast, your  morning metabolism begins to slow down, leaving you with a lot less energy. Look to eat a balanced breakfast containing fat, protein, and carbs to rev up your metabolism and power you through to lunch. But be sure yoru breakfast isn't too big. Our bodies aren't built to handle large meals in the morning, and too big a breakfast can leave you feeling sluggish and dull. Check out our Tasty Healthy Food Menu for breakfast suggestions.

Lunch should be your biggest meal of the day. Most of us eat our biggest meal at night. Our metabolism in the evening is naturally slowing down, and, as a result, we invariably store more of the calories we eat at night as fat. But even worse, eating a big meal at night requires our bodies to commit a lot of energy to digestion. Having to expend all of this energy makes it harder for us to fall asleep, and prevents us from sleeping as deeply. Lower sleep quality at night then translates into a lower metabolism and less energy during the day. Conversely, when you make lunch your biggest meal (and take a full hour to eat, relax, and digest), your body runs off of your lunch throughout the afternoon and early evening. You stay energized through the afternoon untill dinner, burning off the calories you ate at lunch which would be stored as fat while you slept if you ate them at dinner. Come dinner time, it doesn't take as much food to fill you up, and, having eaten a moderate sized dinner, you can fall asleep more easily that night. In this way, eating the right portion sizes at the right times can actually help you build and maintain a healthier circadian rhythm, leading to a leaner, healthier more energized body.
