Looking at an average woman, needing 2,000 calories a day, each meal stands at around 400 calories, at every 3 hours.



If you are aiming for weight loss, consume 1,600 calories and eat only 4 of the meals below, at a 4-hour interval, instead of three.



Such type of diet plans, prevent your blood-sugar levels from going very low and keep you feeling fuller and satisfied for longer.



And as your cravings reduce, you'll be able to make better, healthier food choices and follow them with energy.
