Former fitness instructor here, and I'll have to agree that 2 meals a day isn't enough, for anyone. It doesn't give you enough nutrients and that's not opinion it's a fact. 3 healthy meals a day is minimum, but it's even better to:
- eat a decent breakfast including whole grains, bonus points for including fruit.
- spread out your lunch, say -- eating a piece of fruit in late morning, a lean meat sandwich on whole grain bread with leaf lettuce later on, then maybe a handful of nuts in late afternoon -- is just an example.
- sensible dinner including some lightly cooked vegetables.
- drink plenty of water throughout the day as well, which among other benefits will help prevent you getting hunger cravings late in the evening or at night. I recommend not eating after a certain point in the evening.
If you spread out your mid-day intake then you ARE actually a lot closer to eating the multiple smaller meals that DlxPhil is talking about.
It has nothing to do with anyone wanting to be Arnold, it has to do with getting better results in your health and how your bod looks, and that means giving your system a wide range of healthy foods for it to work with throughout the day. I also recommend taking a daily natural source vitamin & mineral supplement.
Btw I don't know how you perform your situps but I never recommend them to people because most don't do them correctly. They're better than nothing though, but I would recommend you finish off with some very strict crunches to really burn that sixpack.
