1. Breakfast
The distribution of food throughout the day, we guarantee an adequate supply of nutrients. Do not skip breakfast ever. A proper breakfast provides the energy we need to start the day. It must contain a sufficient intake of carbohydrates like bread slow absorption.

Converting this bread toasted olive oil and tomato obtain a supply of healthy fats and vitamins and minerals. Proteins and calcium in a glass of milk supplement a balanced breakfast.

Breakfast is especially important in children since several studies found lower physical and intellectual performance in children who skip breakfast. Adults also need to start the day with a breakfast for optimal physical and intellectual performance.

2. Mid-morning
Take something to avoid mid-morning we pass the hours before the meal hungry and cranky and we will perform better at our tasks. Also get less hungry at lunch with possibly eat less.

For this does not entail an excessive intake of calories it is best to choose a yogurt or a piece of fruit. The sugars in the fruit will we feel hungry in about an hour, so only choose them if we need this time for our lunch.

3. Food
Begin the meal with a bowl of spoon. A soup, a light puree, gazpacho soup or stew or sing and comfort. That yes, the past, without sausage or bacon if we are overweight. A blue or white fish or lean meat cooked without oil are a good intake of proteins, which will complete with some vegetables, most fresh daily.

The water is not fattening either before or in the middle or after meals. Nature is wise and food “drink called” because the latter promotes the optimum consistency of food that we digest. But is not as bad as drinking excessively drink, still a good amount of one to two glasses with each meal.

4. Snack
Just like at midmorning, midafternoon, when dinner is still far away, we feel hungry. A glass of milk with a couple of crackers or a small roasted tomato, a piece of fruit or a yogurt are an excellent choice.

5. Dinner
The light dinner avoids heavy digestions and sleep problems. Include foods rich in it in carbohydrates slowly absorbed as potatoes or pasta will facilitate our dream.
