After six seasons with the show, nutritionist Cheryl Forberg, R.D., says the two most common mistakes made by nearly all the contestants who’ve passed through the ranch are skipping meals, particularly breakfast, and not consuming enough calcium. “They i feel they don’t have time to plan ahead, but skipping meals can lead to grabbing fast food and overeating because you’re starving,” she says.
To keep their metabolism revving high, Biggest Loser contestants are trained to eat five or six times a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner, small meals made up of high-water-volume vegetables and fruits, whole grains and lean protein, plus two or three snacks. “Most people don’t get enough dairy products in their diet,” Forberg says. “Men need 1,000 milligrams of calcium. You can achieve that through three servings of milk, yogurt, and/or cheese a day. We encourage a low-fat cheese stick with a piece of fruit for between-meal snacks.”
