Not to sound like a Jerk but welcome to the Early 80's thought process
Yes 5 small meals a day will help you lose weight.
The more you eat in one sitting the harder it is for your body to digest all of the food. What your body doesn't digest for energy it will store as fat for future needs.
Just think of a diabetic they need to eat 5 or 6 small meals. If they don't blood sugar levels and insulin levels go crazy. So simplely put 5 or 6 meals a day is what you should strive for.
Also talk to any body builder and ask them how many meals they eat a day. Or for that matter ask any professional athlete they all eat many small meals.
Other tip that is pretty simple. Toss out your large dinner plates and switch to a 9" plate it's a simple way to control your portions.
