How many meals should you eat per day to lose weight?
Is it two?
Three?!
Four?!?
Five?!?!
One-hundred thousand and seventy-seven billion?!?!?!
Given the look on your face, you don’t know the answer. There are a lot of people making different claims about the exact number of times you should eat for optimal weight loss results, so your confusion is understandable. Most central to many of these claims is the idea that it’s better to eat more frequent meals of smaller size, with the argument going that eating often boosts the metabolism so you increase the number of calories you burn by way of the thermic effect of food (TEF), which is the amount of energy it takes to digest, absorb, and make use of the nutrients in whatever it is that you eat.

Regular exercise has its benefits, right?
Yeah, it supports your health and helps with your appearance, in addition to many other perks, such as better sleep, more energy, and greater confidence. For these reasons that make a few days of exercise appealing, it can be tempting to want to exercise with even more regularity to speed up the process or derive even more benefits. As intuitive as it sounds to do that, that would actually be a no-no!
By working out more often, the body isn’t given the time it needs to recover from the stress imposed on it during exercise. That can result in chronic fatigue and soreness, difficulty with sleep, and more frequent illness. On top of the many other things that can have a negative effect on you, what may also occur is the desired adaptations to your muscles and cardiovascular system not taking place. All of this is why rest days are as important to an exercise plan as training days are.1How many rest days should you take?
Good question!
Some fitness professionals suggest that you should take at least one rest day every 3 to 5 days. Others recommend one at least every 7 to 10 days. Where exactly you fall on the number of rest days you should take depends on various factors, such as your training split, fitness level, training experience, and lifestyle stressors, as well as how often you work out, the intensity level, and type of exercise you’re performing. To determine what’s best for you, listen to your body!
So what should you do on rest days? Continue reading What To Do On Rest Days
