It is often claimed that people should eat many, small meals throughout the day to keep the metabolism high. But studies clearly disagree with this. Eating 2-3 meals per day has the exact same effect on total calories burned as eating 5-6 (or more) smaller meals.
Eating frequently may have benefits for some people (like preventing excessive hunger), but it is incorrect that this affects the amount of calories we burn.
There are even studies showing that eating too often can be harmful … a new study came out recently showing that more frequent meals dramatically increases liver and abdominal fat on a high calorie diet.
