Kansas does not charge income tax on state pensions, so your KPERS pension is exempt from state income tax. However, though exempt from Kansas state taxes, if you leave Kansas and establish residency in another state, your pension may be subject to that state's taxes, depending on state law.
Many experts recommend eating five or six small meals a day instead of the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One reason for this is frequent eating keeps a personâs energy up. Blood sugar naturally drops after every three hours, but eating throughout the day keeps blood sugar levels steady.
Consuming five small meals daily instead of three square ones can keep you fit and trim, nutrition experts say. But what exactly is a small meal? Four hundred calories every three hours or so throughout the day, says Connie Diekman, RD, director of university nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis. (That translates into 2,000 calories, the number an average active woman needs daily to maintain her weight. If you're looking to lose, aim for 1,600 calories and eat only four of the meals below. Space them every four hours instead of three.). Eating this way helps prevent your blood sugar from crashing and keeps you satisfied.. Since you won't be starving, you'll be able to make smarter food choices and stick to your diet.
