What time should you eat lunch?
Time for lunch
As women we need between 400 and 600 calories for lunch to provide us with fuel to keep us going through the rest of the day.
Not only do we need to watch what we eat â so that we don't end up feeling fatigued or sluggish, but we need to watch when we eat as well.
Eat on time to avoid over-eating
The best time to eat lunch every day is between 12pm and 1pm.
Eating later in the afternoon can cause you to become over-hungry beforehand, and that's when nibbling on fatty or sugary food happens.
Foods high in white carbs will leave you feeling sleepy, so stick to whole grain sandwiches or wraps. Or put together a protein-packed salad with beans, chicken or tuna the night before. This will keep you satisfied and alert for the rest of the afternoon.
