Why you shouldn't skip a meal: Less frequent eating is associated with higher BMI and waist circumference

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that less frequent eating was associated with higher weight and a larger waist size.
Frequently dieters try to not eat a lot and skip meals, and this study confirms that skipping a meal is actually harmful and results in a greater body weight.
Instead you should eat every meal, just choose the right foods and avoid "junk foods" such as muffins, cake, cookies, and fried foods and replace them with grilled fish or chicken breast, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
There's always room for your favorite high calorie foods, just remember to be healthy 80% of the time.
