3 meals a day or 6 meals a day

i was reading to day that "THE EXPERTS" are now saying that eating 5-6 small meals a day is no more advantageous than eating 3 meals a day. So there goes another theory out the window. Trouble is it takes so long to figure this shit out you get 5 years of advice from every health mag etc telling you to eat 6 small meals a day and they give you a dozen seemingly credible reasons why this works citing everything from our evolution to our evolvong biological functions. And now i guess 3 meals a day is just fone maybe two......at least until the next group of "EXPERTS" comes along and tells you what works the best and why.

If you eat many smaller meals a day you may end up eating more but it will also offset that some by increasing your metabolism.
You also may have more consistent energy throughout the day.
Also you will be easier on your digestive system.

Eating less larger meals could mean energy ups and downs throughout the day.
You will fill your stomach up more and probably eat less overall but your metabolism could be slightly lower.
Eating a lot of larger meals can be hard on your intestines by stretching them over and over.

i appreciate your input here. I had never thought of it in those ways, makes sense to me, the advantage for me is eating more meals makes me feel like i dont need to eat becasue thats all i have been doing all day, if you get my point, i always cap at 2200 calories a day, and can squeeze it as low as 1500 if i am looking for loss, or not expending a lot of energy that day. 2200 cal over 5-6 meals still feels like your a glutton so it helps, again appreciate the feedback
