portions

The nutritional facts say that 2 cups is one serving, but i usually have 7 or 8 cups. When I eat eggs I usually have about 5 or 6 of them. I was just interested in the pros and cons of eating two large meals everyday vs. 3 or 4 regular sized meals.

Best way to do it to really rev up your metabolism is to take you overall caloric requirements and divide it over 5-6 meals, then get equal portions in each meal. Example: 2300 calories a day, then get 383 calories a meal for 6 meals.

I also try to keep the amount I eat down to about the size of both my fists. It might not seem enough at first; but if you eat healthy foods, high in nutrients, you will get full. I now have complete control over my diabetes ( type 1) and I have lost about 80 lbs. in the last year and a half.
