关于吃饭时间与减肥的四大事实真相

我过去曾与那些将他们那一日六餐完好分装在塑料食品容器里的人共事。他们每隔几个小时就会走到冰箱那里，高兴地吃一会儿东西。他们总是说：“这样能维持我的新陈代谢。”但就像他们的三明治一样，这一基本原则也是在胡扯。

Say it with me: Eating many small meals does not “boost” your metabolism. In fact, for some people, the more they eat, the hungrier they feel, and they may end up eating more calories than they would with fewer, larger meals. On the opposite end, having more meals to look forward to throughout the day can benefit some people psychologically, especially when they find dieting to be difficult, and help them avoid binging after a long hungry day at the office. Plus, there are health reasons to both eat and avoid eating frequently, like managing blood sugar.

来跟我一起念：吃许多副餐并不会提升你的新陈代谢。事实上，对于某些人而言，他们吃得越多，反而越饿，最终摄入的热量反而比他们吃次数更少的主餐时多。另一方面，一整天都在吃东西会给某些人的心理带来安慰，当他们认为节食非常困难的时候尤为如此，这能帮助他们避开在办公室饿了一整天之后的大吃大喝。此外，吃东西和避开频繁地吃东西也有健康原因，比如控制血糖。

As this study in The British Journal of Nutrition notes, your body will process all of those calories just the same whether they came in one or three big packages, or seven smaller ones. In essence, frequent meals are simply a key strategy in helping you manage your appetite and mindful consumption, so if more meals works for you, then you do you.
