To preface, its important to recognize that food, beyond the amazing flavor it provides, is meant to fuel our body and allow it to perform at its best. With that in mind, your meals are where most of your energy will come from and going between meals that energy will drop. If you are taking more than four hours between meals, a snack will help ensure your metabolism doesn’t slow.
