Sometimes, our eyes are way bigger than our stomachs, especially when you only eat 3 times a day. Packed schedules makes it difficult to eat at regular intervals, which could mean waiting a whole 8 hours between lunch and dinner. By then you're so ravenous, you feel like eating everything in sight when you get home. By eating smaller portions more often (like 5 small meals), you'll nip those intense hunger spells in the bud.
