The Fantastic 4 (Part 2)

Rule #2
Frequency of food: Spread your calories out over the course of the day. In a perfect world you would eat five or six meals per day that were equal in calories. All of your meals together would equal the amount of calories needed for the day which we figured out in Rule #1. Because this is not practical just do the best you can. For example you can try three meals and two snacks about 3 to 4 hours apart. Try to never go past 4 hours without eating. After the 4 hour point your body begins to breakdown muscle and using it as energy to survive. Remember that muscles are the primary thing in your body that burn calories from fat stores. It is your friend. You don’t want to lose it.
