Meal Timing & Healthy Lifestyle

Natacha Borrajo, Registered Dietitian with Baptist Health Primary Care, advises avoiding wanting to go more than five hours without eating because that leads to hunger and hangry. Cathy Clark-Reyes, Registered Dietitian with Baptist Health Primary Care, also says when people get hangry, their food decisions start to deteriorate and people can feel guilty afterwards. Borrajo explains when people are eating they are burning calories. When patients skip meals for long periods, their metabolism has slowed down.
