Not exactly sure what you mean but the time tested "cycle" is breakfast, small mid morning snack, lunch, small mid afternoon snack, dinner. Whatever food you want to eat for each one is up to you and breaking the "cycle" every now and then is not harmful/unhealthy.



I'm not sure what your question means. If by food cycle you mean food pyramid, everyone should eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nut & legumes daily. Along with drinking water.



Friend,

That which suits youre Body Condition and Digestive capacity and daily burning capacity of calories.

So it is Individual table .



My advice is to eat between five to six meals per day. By eating smaller portions of food more often you will feel less hungry in between meals and not deprived. When people only eat, let’s say, two large meals per day, their bodies go into a starvation mode and try to hold on to calories. By eating every three to four hours you keep your body from storing as many calories (as fat) because your body has a steady supply of food to use for energy. Think of your metabolism as a wood burning fire. If you don’t stoke the fire and add wood at regular intervals, it goes out. The same is true with your body: a steady intake of nutritious fuel at regular intervals keeps your metabolism steady and elevated, your blood sugar stable, and your body operating at maximum efficiency.

Mini-meals should be balanced, containing proteins, carbohydrates and fat. This also helps to maintain steady insulin levels. However, eating more meals is not a license to overeat! Your goal is to eat smaller, nutritious meals that will satisfy your body’s needs. Soon you will begin to notice that you are less hungry overall and you need less food to fill up at each meal.

The easiest way to avoid missing a meal is to have plenty of nutritious foods available such as fruit, yogurt, light cheese, whole grain crackers
and bread, and nuts that you can eat when you’re short on time.

Iron inhibits calcium absorption, so try to have primary sources of calcium and iron at separate times of the day. When you consume iron-rich foods, try to have food that is rich in vitamin C, because it aids in iron absorption. Consume primarily low to mid glycemic-index foods for sustained energy, and have a balanced diet.

Those are a few things that might help you to discern a good food cycle, but it really depends on an individuals lifestyle, how active they are at different parts of the day, their blood type etc.
