5 Biggest Nutrition Myths-Myth 4!

Eat multiple small meals all throughout the day to boost your metabolism…in theory. Anytime that we eat we do see a small boost in our metabolism.

But, in practice what has been found is that if you eat the exact same amount of calories over three meals or five meals, in the same day, there’s pretty much not any difference as far as fat loss is concerned.
