How Many Meals Should You Eat per Day?

5. Comparing the information on meal frequency

Keeping blood sugar below unreasonable levels is particularly important for people with diabetes. If a person could manage their blood sugar just through eating frequency, it could help them avoid major medical issues. There is some scientific evidence that shows that eating two large meals each day leads to greater fluctuations in glucose and insulin responses. However, newer studies have proven that while these findings were accurate, eating large meals less frequently actually leads to better long-term blood sugar levels and body weight due to a variety of small, but compounding, effects.
