Thanks for posting those studies. I did have a couple comments though. On the first study, the link didn't work so I couldn't read the whole study. It looks like they are looking mostly at the thermic effect of food. I agree that this isn't a huge number when looking at
weight loss and it should not be a huge concern. The second study I thought was very interesting. They pretty proved my point. When you don't eat often your
body started to breakdown protein for
energy and slows down
fat oxidation. If you don't eat small meals you basically are encourage muscle breakdown and slowing down
fat metabolism.
I do agree that studies often can be confusing. One study shows that doing this will help you out with this other study shows that it will kill you.
