How and What to eat, and the exercise

 How many times should one eat in a day?

How often you eat really boils down to individual preference. There’s no single eating strategy, rule, or schedule that’s superior to the rest. But most dietitians agree there’s one benchmark to aim for each day: Eat three meals a day, with snacks in between as needed. 

You can pay attention to your body’s cues about when it’s best to eat those meals and any necessary snacks. Usually, this means you’re eating at least every 3 to 4 hours. 

Your brain needs a regular supply of dietary glucose

Some people claim that if you don’t eat carbs every few hours, your brain will stop functioning. This is based on the belief that your brain can only use glucose for fuel. However, your body can easily produce the glucose it needs via a process called gluconeogenesis. Even during long-term fasting, starvation, or very low carbs diet your body can produce ketone bodies from dietary fats.

Ketone bodies can feed parts of your brain, reducing its glucose requirement significantly. However, some people report feeling fatigued or shaky when they don’t eat for a while. If this applies to you, you should consider keeping snacks on hand or eating more frequently.
