Eating one big meal per day will boost metabolism. “There are many studies being done in this area right now,” says Plano. “In my opinion, eating small, frequent, multiple meals with the concentration on whole foods with minimal processing are best.” Why? Because skipping meals or not eating will ultimately slow down metabolic rate. Without sufficient nutrients, cells will readjust and begin to function on smaller amounts of energy, which they can do only by storing more fat in anticipation of these periods of nutrient deprivation. “Eating frequently keeps your blood sugar stable reducing cravings, keeps metabolic rate high, and consistently nourishes the body with crucial vitamins and minerals.” By eating small, low-calorie, high-protein meals throughout the day (five or six are the recommended number of meals by nutritionists), the body’s energy supply will be constant and calories will be steadily converted into energy, which means metabolism will be working hard and BMR will be speeding up.
