6 Meals for Deals
I myself do not eat 6 meals a day. I can't personally locate a study with an internet search that supports 6 meals a day over 3. There are articles like the link I provided that state there are studies that support 6 meals a day as being better.
Both of my posts Breakfast and 6 meals - there appear to be studies supporting the ideas but more work is needed to make them "gospels"
From the link:
Question:
I've heard many experts say you should eat 5-6 smaller meals a day as opposed to 2 or 3 large meals a day. Is this true?
Answer:
The answer is an emphatic "yes". To improve your body, to look better, feel better, and improve your health, you must get in the habit of feeding your body more often. Numerous studies have shown that eating often helps accelerate the metabolism, so you burn more calories. When you consume5-6 nutritious, smaller meals a day, the food is more efficiently absorbed and processed by your body than the typical American diet of three square meals a day.
By eating every few hours, you will have more energy, less hunger pains and cravings. Above all, you will be creating a metabolic environment that supports fat loss and muscle gains, allowing you to transform your body in the shortest amount of time.
