More recent research has shown that it doesn't make much if any difference as to the number of meals you eat. I don't have the journal link right now, but it's out there. I'm most comfortable not eating much for the first 3-4 hours of the day so that I can eat more in the afternoon and evening to get that nice, full feeling at dinner. If you prefer eating 5-6 meals a day, go for it. Anything is better than eating like the masses.
