there is a thing called specific dynamic action where u expend a certain amount of calorie (as energy) to effect the digestion of the foodstuff u eat. it's about a tenth of the total calorie needed for the basic metabolic rate + physical activity... the more complex the food u eat, the more difficult it gets metabolized. when u eat frequently at small amounts, u get to use up more energy. i believe in the eat more, lose more idea.

@jugs... i got this from my nutrition class, too
Thats what i'm talking about...
