How many meals a day should I eat to lose weight?

Five (5)

784 adults who have lost an average of 66 lbs and kept it off, eat an average of five (5) meals a day.

Can I still eat out at restaurants and lose weight?

If five small meals a day isn’t realistic for you, try eating three smaller meals with snacks in between.
