If I had a dollar for everyone I know who is a triangle eater, I would be a wealthy person.\u00a0 What\u2019s a triangle eater?\u00a0 It\u2019s a person who eats little to no breakfast, a modest lunch, but consumes most of his\/her daily calories starting late in the afternoon and ending when Jimmy Kimmel signs off.\u00a0 A day\u2019s food intake looks something like this:<\/p>\n

Since food is the fuel your body runs on, this triangular approach to eating makes absolutely no<\/em> sense.\u00a0 In essence, you\u2019re depriving your body of its precious fuel, food, during the day when you need it the most. This is analogous to getting into your car in the morning with an empty gas tank and expecting to be able to drive it to work.\u00a0 Your four wheel baby isn\u2019t going to move until you fill the tank with some gasoline, the fuel it runs on.<\/p>\n Your body is just like your car.\u00a0 It thrives on the carbohydrate, glucose, found in grains, fruits, veggies, dairy foods, and nuts and seeds. In fact, your brain relies solely on glucose to function. So if you want to enhance your memory, improve your cognitive ability, and help increase your attention span, fuel your brain with food it needs to ace your day.\u00a0 If that\u2019s not enough incentive to eat more during the day, emerging research is suggesting that consuming the major of your calories later in the day may not be kind to your waist.<\/p>\n The perfect energizing meal contains not only carbohydrates but also some protein (nut, meat, fish, and poultry) and some healthy fats (oils and nuts).\u00a0 Here are some meal suggestions:<\/p>\n Breakfast:<\/strong> Oatmeal or whole grain cereal doused with milk and topped with berries and nuts.<\/p>\n Lunch:<\/strong> Salad with grilled chicken, a light dressing, and a whole grain roll<\/p>\n Afternoon snack:<\/strong> A yogurt and a piece of fruit<\/p>\n Dinner:<\/strong> Baked salmon, broccoli, and brown rice (Keep the portions smaller compared to your other meals.)<\/p>\n Flip your triangular pattern of eating to consume more during the day and less at night to fuel your body and brain.<\/p>\n Twitter: @JoanSalgeBlake<\/a><\/p>\n Instagram: JoanSalgeBlake<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If I had a dollar for everyone I know who is a triangle eater, I would be a wealthy person.\u00a0 What\u2019s a triangle eater?\u00a0 It\u2019s a person who eats little to no breakfast, a modest lunch, but consumes most of his\/her daily calories starting late in the afternoon and ending when Jimmy Kimmel signs … Continue reading Are You A Triangular Eating?
