You may have heard people in the past who recommend swapping three big meals for five smaller meals. Is there any truth behind this theory? How much should you expect your results to improve with this technique, if anything at all?

Is there any productive research behind this approach of breaking down your meals into smaller portions?

This technique actually has a lot of research backing it up. Over the years, numerous studies have shown us that humans who consume infrequent, larger meals tend to store more body fat because their muscles simply don't need the huge influx of fuel provided in one go.

People who have eaten that way for years often complain about feeling sluggish or bloated after a meal. That's a telltale sign that somebody has 'bitten off more than they can chew', i.e. provided their body with more nutrients than it can physically handle. As a result, body fat stores increase.

This is particularly noticeable if your meal contained a lot of carbohydrates, because your body can only use and store so much before it needs to put the excess elsewhere, i.e. fat storage.

One of the easiest ways to improve your diet is to ditch the old approach of three massive meals per day and replacing it with a lighter, more regular eating plan. This even works if you calorie intake during the day remains at the same level.

Science has shown us over the last couple of decades that when we eat five or six smaller, well rounded meals per day we lose all of the negative side effects we have listed above, such as bloating and sluggishness. As well as this, our body is also able to break down each smaller meal much more efficiently and use it for fuel rather than storing it as unwanted body fat.

If you are trying to understand how to lose weight, or even how to build muscle, today's tips will help you to structure your meal plan for optimal results. Most of the changes which improve your diet are simple things such as portion size and how regularly you consume food, so make the most of this powerful new knowledge in your personal war against unwanted fat.
