A 16 page paper providing Chapter 5: Discussion of Findings and Chapter 6: Summary and Implications of a student-supplied and conducted study investigating the effects of the number of meals consumed during a day and acquisition of most of the day's calories earlier in the day. The study used data from a larger, earlier study that the student was not involved in and appeared not to support conventional wisdom that body mass index and body weight are positively affected by eating earlier in the day and eating a greater number of smaller meals. These two chapters discuss why this could be the case and makes recommendations for future research. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
