(CNN'S HOLLY FIRFER) If your New Year's resolution involves losing weight, make sure you aren't skipping meals. If you battle with your weight, remember this: Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
"Make sure you have a large hearty breakfast and then lunch should be enough to power you through the rest of the day, and at dinner have a very light dinner so you can sleep well and be restored for the next day," says dietitian Marisa Moore.
If the evening meal is your biggest, or you skip meals, you are not alone. Skipping meals does not help us lose weight. People who don't eat breakfast, for instance, tend to weigh more than those who do.
"Breakfast helps to kind of rev up the metabolism it helps to jump start your body, so that you can actually burn more calories during the day," says Moore.
It also helps keep our hunger level on an even keel so we don't reach for the junk food. Also, eat a balanced lunch each day. Moore suggests a lean protein, like turkey, whole grains and plenty of fruits and veggies. For dinner, no more royal treatment, keep it simple and light.
"Why not just have a salad with a little bit of beans or some chicken on top," says Moore. "Maybe a glass of milk or some yogurt."
It's best to eat every 4-5 hours, so include healthy snacks to tie you over between meals.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
