5-6 meals per day for greater fat loss and decreased hunger compared to 2-3 meals per day. PLEASE see below for what the scientific research really states. These dogmatic belief systems we hold should be phased out when we see the facts. “Increased meal frequency does not promote greater weight loss in subjects who were prescribed an 8-week equi-energetic energy-restricted diet. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19943985 Whether you eat 3 meals per day or 6, if your daily caloric intake is identical, you will expend the same number of calories per day from TEF. bodyrecomposition/…/meal-frequency-and-energy-balance-r… There were no significant effects of meal frequency on heart rate, body temperature, or most of the blood variables measured. ajcn.nutrition.org/content/85/4/981.full There is no evidence that weight loss on hypoenergetic regimens is altered by meal frequency. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494 Eating three meals compared with two meals had no effects on 24 h energy expenditure, diet-induced thermogenesis, activity-induced energy expenditure and sleeping metabolic rate. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18053311 We conclude that increasing meal frequency from three to six per day has no significant effect on 24-h fat oxidation. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23404961
