                                According to a 2021 study, more than 20% of daily energy intake for US adults comes from snacks, making the debate around meal frequency highly relevant for weight management. So, is snacking better than meals for weight loss, or is a more structured approach more effective? The answer, as research suggests, lies less in the frequency of eating and more in the quality, timing, and total caloric intake.
