There is no "magic" number of meals. Whether you eat 3 or 6 meals, what matters most is the quality and total daily calorie intake. Eating frequently may help control hunger, but it does not boost metabolism on its own.

No, eating at night alone does not lead to weight gain. What matters is the total calories consumed throughout the day. However, heavy or processed meals late at night may affect digestion and sleep quality.

Metabolism doesn’t actually get "stuck," but it can slow down due to low calorie intake, lack of protein, reduced muscle mass, and a sedentary lifestyle. Increasing physical activity and maintaining proper nutrition can help get it back on track.

A portion varies depending on individual needs and the type of food. For example, a portion of fruit is about half a large banana, a portion of animal protein is roughly the size of your palm, a portion of pasta is about ½ cup, and a portion of vegetables is 1 cup. Balance is key.

No! Our body has natural detox mechanisms through the liver, kidneys, and intestines. "Detox diets" are not scientifically proven and may deprive the body of essential nutrients.

No food "burns" fat magically. Some foods (e.g., protein, spicy foods, green tea) may slightly boost metabolism, but fat loss depends on overall calorie deficit and lifestyle habits.

No! Exercise helps burn calories, maintain or increase muscle mass, and improve metabolism. However, if someone eats more calories than they burn through exercise, they may not see weight loss. Again, balance between diet and exercise is key.
