However, I have found that eating in this way works better for me. I've definitely found that I get less hungry which means I'm less likely to snack and binge on other foods outside of my planned 5 or 6 mini meals. I have also noticed physical improvements as a result of eating this way. Anyway, I have followed up on your question and found a scientific journals which support my article. This study(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15640455?dopt=Abstract) concludes that subjects who followed their normal diet on 6 occassions had greater thermogenesis than those who followed a variable meal frequency of 3-9 meals per day. Regards, Tom Hi Steele,

I was wondering if you could direct me to the scientific journals you got this information from, or the scientific papers. I just see a lot of body building myths being perpetuated, though i will retract my statement if you can direct me to evidence of this. I prefer science rather than body builders saying, it works for us! Thanks Tom!!

Totally agree with you that I don't feel as hungry with the small meals. I think the key is to make yourself eat something every 2 to 3 hours, whether you feel like it or not. I often find that I am not that hungry for a good few hours after breakfast. However, I make myself eat anyway and it seriously reduces any afternoon cravings. If I wait till lunch for my second meal I find that I feel hungry constantly throughout the afternoon. Planning meals is also a great way to avoid junk food. If I have prepared my sandwiches for lunch I am a lot less tempted to eat out because I feel like I would be wasting them. Another added bonus is that preparing your daily meals is a fantastic money saver. Thanks for your comments Heidi. Totally agree with you that I don’t feel as hungry with the small meals.
