No, it has no effect. But habits like that help certain people no not binge. Others skip 1-2 meals and splurge most of their calories on dinner. Its what works best for you to not be hungry.

Nope, eat when you want, what you want, stick to your daily calorie allowance.

Over and out.

I think why its suggested that people do so is that it prevents the sugar drop caused by the time in between meals which can cause fatigue and over eating at meal times, In September I'm going to be doing 5 small meals a day to see if it works for me or not, but really it depends on yourself, your routine and how your body reacts

Eating that many times every day sounds exhausting :yawn:

And no, frequency of meals has nothing to do with anything. Calories, calories, calories.

Eating 5 to 6 meals a day every 2 to 3 hours
