In my opinion, everyone is different. And it sort of depends what one defines as a "meal." If a meal has to include every food group and at least four courses, then more than three a day would probably kill you!
I like to eat many times a day, but these "meals" might consist of a cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, or a sandwich.
Some people claim that eating frequent light meals boosts their metabolism. I'm not active enough to notice any such effects, but these claims could be true for them. What I DO notice is a bit more alertness and ability to focus, because I'm not constantly hungry or full -- just a happy medium most of the time.
Hope you resolve this satisfactorily. Above all, do what's best for you, not what's best for someone else.

It's good to eat 5-6 SMALL meals a day. This keeps your metabolism going all day so that your body doesn't trap as much fat and sugar.

Actually it is better to eat 6 small meals a day. The key word here is SMALL.

It depends on how much you eat at each meal.
Ideally, you should eat five times a day, but obviously that is three smaller meals and two snacks. Frequent eating keeps your metabolism working.

No, it is better to eat more sensible meals throughout the day.

i think it has more to do with the amount and type of food you eat rather than the no. of meals a day. i knew of people who never had lunch or dinner but prefer to snack whenever they feel and they look amazingly healthy

6 small meals is a common recommendation but I don't think I would want to go through the trouble. sounds like snacking all day.

3 is good but they say 6 smaller meals are best to maintain your weight better.
