Transcript

Does eating several small meals throughout the day help you to lose weight? The theory is that if you keep adding small amounts of food to your fire, the fire being your metabolism, you will keep it going strong and burn more calories overall. I already talked about this in the meal planning section. But the truth is that meal frequency doesn't really matter because food intake has only a minor effect on metabolism. Some foods, including those with caffeine may slightly and temporarily increase metabolism, but the effect is too small to make a big difference. Eating frequently may have benefits for some people like preventing excessive hunger, but it is incorrect that this affects the amount of calories we burn.

What most affects your basal metabolic rate. The rate at which you burn calories at rest is body composition in size. More muscles and bigger bodies generally burn more calories overall. So what should you do instead? Like I said so many times before, what's your calories and build up your muscles pound of fat free tissue burns around 14 calories a day, a pound of fat burns only two to three calories. And while that difference may not sound like a lot, it will certainly help over time.

Remember to that when you lose pounds, part of that weight is muscle. That's why strength training is even more important when you're trying to lose weight.
