The truth is that people who spread out their meals tend to weigh less, not that they burn more calories. There is a small but significant difference between "weighing less" and "weight loss".
On this note, I've brifely read that hunger is not reliably indicative of the need for sustenance. True/False?
To be more explicit, the amount of calorie intake necessary for normal physical and mental functions (not accounting for distractions caused by dreaming about donuts and pancakes) can be achieved without a stomach that feels full.
