Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Does anyone else think that there's too much focus on " feeling full longer " ? That maybe the advice to eat frequently to " prevent getting hungry " could result in over consumption of calories and weight gain? What is wrong with a little bit of hunger between meals? It is definitely easier to tolerate if you have the next meal planned. I'm backing off the rec eat frequently, recommending people eat a minimum of 3 meals per day, focusing on planned, balanced meals and not skipping meals. If snacks are desired then meals have to be smaller. I just read and article in the KidsPost section of Sunday's Washington Post titled: Which would you choose? (picture of 1/2 doughnut and a medium banana) Lots of sound nutrition information re: calories, calorie needs, importance of physical activity, nutrient density, etc. But then " A banana also makes you feel full for a longer time. " Even kids are being delivered the message full good, hunger bad. Looking forward to feedback from the list, Beth Triner, RD, CSR, LDN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
