For years people have spouted the myth that the more meals you eat a day the faster your metabolism will “burn”.

This is false. It’s not only false, it’s harmful. If you’re constantly thinking about food all day long, trying to squeeze as many little meals in as often as you can, you’re going to go insane pretty quickly.

The amount of meals you have in a day does not affect fat loss. It’s the total amount of calories you consume that does.

We usually advise 3-5 meals a day as a nice sweet spot. If you prefer to eat little and often to keep you full and satiated, that’s cool, just make sure you’re snacking on healthy, lower calorie foods such as nuts, seeds, berries and Greek yogurt.

Avoid snacking on high calorie packaged goods. That shit adds up fast.

Take away’s.
