Eating many small meals - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

Hello,

I wonder if there is anything wrong with eating many small meals but kind of taking it to an extreme sometimes... like even when I wake up at 3am I eat a little something like an apple or a piece of bread and read for a while.... never really eating a full meal, just nibbling all day and all night?

NO, i wouldnt think there would be anything wrong with that as long as your arent exceeding your daily caloric needs .remember if you dont burn more than you take in, you WILL gain weight.

The only downside I have heard is that it can be hard on your teeth since they are in contact with food so much. Other than that, it should be good for your metabolism.

I snack all day and I eat like you do in the middle of the night if I wake up. I have been able to do this without gaining weight.

Becoming overweight is not an issue (at least not right now, lol), I am like hardly over 100 pounds!
