I lost a ton of weight by eating right and bumping up my total number of meals from 2-3 to 6-7. But I just had a buddy of mine tell me the meal frequency is all bologna. That the increase in metabolic rate is a long perpetrated myth. Was my weight loss entirely from calorie restriction and the increase in meal frequency helped ward off cravings because I never became so hungry waiting for my next meal I could make better food choices?

Thanks for the insight people.
