Obese Females Better Off With Larger Meals - Health News - redOrbit: “Our data suggests that, for obese women, eating fewer, bigger meals may be more advantageous metabolically compared to eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day,” explained the study’s lead author Tim Heden, a doctoral student in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at MU, in a prepared statement. “Eating larger meals less often lowered blood-fat levels. Over time, consistently eating fewer, larger meals each day could lower the women’s blood-fat levels and thereby lower their risk of developing heart disease.”
