If one can better manage their total consumption & hunger eating much smaller amounts more frequently, great, do what works. But it's not necessary, and it doesn't raise metabolism. Some of us prefer more substantial meals, less often. So if you don't like eating six times per day, you don't have to in order to lose weight. You just have to find a way to eat less than you did before, that you can sustain long term.
