3 meals or multiple meals?

[bla55]

Last time I checked 3 meals was considered multiple meals... Idk, but that title throws me off...

Agreed, but we are discussing more on the lines of "you have to eat every 3 hours" mantra that many still advocate despite the fact there is very little anecdotal evidence that supports this regime over having a smaller number of larger meals. Even further, some have also (myself) advocated the fact that you don't need to eat that often and you could have as little as one meal a day if it accomplished your caloric goal, especially with some of the benefits seen by fasting and fasted cardio.

Based on that study there is no evidence that the number of meals a day will have any direct effect on weight management, rather up or down, the main part is to keep consistent, i.e. if you eat 3 times a day or 6 times a day, try to do it at the same time frame day in and day out, and don't fluctuate between 1 meal one day, 9 meals the next, 5 meals the one after.

I opt for 5-6 meals a day only because my caloric intake is so high that if I ate that much in 3 sittings I'd feel bloated and sluggish all day
