If you hold both your hands out in front of you in a bowl shape, that is the amount of food that is considered "small". Pepper, hot sauce and foods like that will slightly raise your metabolism.

It depends on your size/weight. A 6ft 200lb man would eat bigger meal than a 5ft 100 lb female. take how many calories you want to eat in a day and divide it by how many meals. I am a small female, I try to keep my meal about 200 calories each, about 5 a day. If you are working out and building muscle, try to eat more protein. Watch your fats and sugars, also no white bread. 100% whole wheat is much better. Also drinking 8 or more glasses of water a day will help keep your metabolism up. You have to really read labels and follow the serving size suggestions.

pepper or peppers is/are good for cranking it up.
in the end, it all comes down to calories in vs calories out although there is like a 50/50 debate on this; therefore, to determine how many calories a small meal is, you would need to decide how many calories you wanted to consume for the day. If your calorie intake is 1800, then split this among the 6 meals to get ~300 cal/meal. If youd o want to eat only 3 times a day, then eat 600 cal/meals.

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little "help", I suggest using natural Hoodia with Green Tea (it's important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says "pure" or "standard").
The Hoodia with Green Tea sold at http://www.bestaces.info/free-diet-pills.php is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It's pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 14 day sample (there is a $4.97 shipping and handling charge).
Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.
