Obese people should eat six meals a day, experts say.
Greek researchers found eating six small meals a day was better than three large ones.
They found more frequent eating – while keeping overall calorie consumption the same – led to better blood sugar control.
Experts at Athens University Medical School tracked 47 participants, who all had type two diabetes or prediabetes, for 24 weeks.
Presenting their findings at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes conference in Lisbon, the study also found eating more frequently kept hunger levels down.
