Eat More Often To Burn The Most Fat
While it may appear counterintuitive at first glance, science has demonstrated that the most effective way to build lean muscle and burn the most fat is to eat more meals with smaller portions.
It has been long thought that you should just eat three meals per day, and in some cases two meals or less, to burn the most fat.
The fact of the matter is that consuming just three meals per day will hurt your efforts to build and maintain lean muscle and burn the most fat. When there is a period of 4 hours or longer between meals, the body interprets this as starvation and will work to conserve energy and store fat instead of burn it.
As the human body is designed for survival, this mechanism will be activated so that the body can protect itself from future starvation.
If you allow 4 or more hours to pass between meals, your body will engage its built-in survival processes. While your conscious mind understands you have food readily available, your body only realizes it has food when it is fed.
During this time of perceived "famine", the body will break down muscle tissue for energy and decrease its processes to burn fat. Since one of the major benefits of muscle tissue is its ability to stimulate your metabolism, this loss of lean muscle will only work to decrease your metabolic rate.
Since you have set out to burn the most fat and lose weight quickly, this process will only work to hinder your progress.
The decline in fat metabolism and the increase in muscle tissue catabolism are just two consequences of the "famine". Long periods between meals will also destabilize your blood sugar levels, meaning you will feel hungrier and less energetic.

If you want to guarantee that your body will continue to burn fat at a higher level so that you can burn the most fat, consume more meals with smaller portions. For best results, you should have between 5 and 7 meals per day with no more than 2 or 3 hours between meals.
While this will first require some adjustments, over time you will become accustomed to the eating schedule. If you truly want to burn the most fat, having 5-7 meals with smaller portions every 2 to 3 hours is the best way to accomplish this task.
Eating more often does not mean that you are simply just eating more. You want to consume the same number of calories per day that you were consuming from 2 or 3 larger meals; you are just spacing out your consumption over the day.
Another reason that this is the best way to burn the most fat is because this eating plan is a much healthier one. If you eat less often, this means you have to eat more food at every meal.
Your blood sugar levels are influenced by the amount of food you eat, if you eat more during a meal your blood sugar levels will rise to a higher level compared to having a smaller meal.
As the digestive system does not have a limitless capacity to handle and absorb nutrients, larger meals can overload the system and slow your progress.
By having more frequent meals with reduced portions, your blood sugar levels will remain more controlled, and controlling your blood sugar is necessary to burn the most fat. Furthermore, your body can more easily absorb nutrients from meals with smaller portions.
