Eat constantly?

[fiction agent]

If I were to eat within my caloric limit, say it's 2400 to lose weight, by eating every hour or half hour, would I raise my metabolism to higher levels then just eating 5 meals a day? I wonder this because I started and i generally feel like i have more energy, never get bloated, and always feel good. Just wondering if it's my imagination or not. Thanks for the help.

I've wondered this as well, mainly if there was any advantage to basically "graze" all day long.

Sounds logical, that would suck to prepare all those meals though.

What would you eat?

I'd stick with the every 2-3 hour window.....you can still get 6-8 meals in depending on your schedule....1 hour is way too much of a chore..........+ no added benefits......

Agreed.

Plus, I don't think your body fully digests meals within an hour.

maybe liquid, or something so small that it would be more of a pain in the ass to eat it than it would be worth the effort.........

Well, I was thinking small protein snacks and things like that. Maybe sunflower seeds (the teeth cracking kind ) a small protein shake....like 100cals at a time.

But, I definately see how there isn't a benefit.

every half hour? no way, not for me. the two hour window seems plenty time enough, keeping your blood sugars stable.
