Consuming six small meals a day helps you to avoid overeating - people are often unaware of how many additional calories they eat due to having portion sizes that are bigger than necessary.

If you are trying to shed those extra kilos, then you may start eating six small meals daily to lose up to 3kg in seven days, suggests a diet expert. Going on a diet does not mean starving; in fact the study claimed that eating six small meals a day, containing wholesome food, can actually help your body kick in to fat-burning mode.
