What will the body utilise better? regardless of thermogenic effects...

Then comes the thing of sugar balance for some people 3 meals is just impossible due to sugar issues... 6 meals will lead to better sugar balance and not crashing.

If that makes sense... Regardless of any thermogenic or lack of effect it is still superior to eat 6 meals for other reasons..
For my personal needs, 5-6 meals a day seems to be my happy medium, i get to eat pre and post workout, before bed, and have 3 square meals for work...

i would never reduce my intake to three meals a day, as it wouldnt suit my schedule...but say i did, i dont think it would make a lot of difference in my weight or appearance as long as my food choices and calorie intake is the same...thats the point im trying to make....

sugar balance, anabolism of tissue and nutrient uptake is a whole other subject that article was not writen to explain....lets stick to the subject of how it effects metabolism (which it doesnt BTW)...
