Some around the world attribute gaining weight to eating many times a day. But is that really the case? Is eating many times a day bad for your health?
First, you need to know that food is a source of energy for the body and that you need the energy for your daily activities. However, just as bad fuel can damage your engine and good fuel enhance the performance of your engine so also unhealthy food can result in bad health and vice-versa.
To be frank, some people eat a lot, even more than 4 times a day, yet, they enjoy good health without becoming overweight. In fact, I have a neighbor who eats more than 4 times per day and sometimes she wakes up at night to eat. Surprisingly, though, she maintains her normal 50-55kg.
