The forgotten “4th macronutrient” that could change how your body burns fat

One of the big steps in teaching the body how to burn fat for fuel is your meal timing. I believe there are four macronutrients, there's protein, fat, carbs, and meal timing. It's really important. When you eat is just as important as what you're putting in your body. When we hit the age of 40, our body doesn't switch from burning sugar to burning fat very easily, so we really have to be cognizant of when we're eating. For that reason, begin by consuming two to three protein forward meals a day and space them about four to five hours apart. So this might be like breakfast and then lunch and then a dinner for people who are just starting their fat loss journey. I would also add a mid afternoon snack in there so that they aren't ravenous by the time they hit that dinner meal.
