The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism 'revved up' so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it.

Daily Usage

Used in biology, metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions in living beings.

Scientific Context

Emphasizes metabolism's role in sustaining life, not just food breakdown.

Life Maintenance

Not Energy Exclusive

 Because the critical thing about this is that even though the damage only eventually causes pathology, the damage itself is caused ongoing-ly throughout life, starting before we're born.
