Someone was telling me that eating 3 meals a day is necessary for losing weight, if you eat too little it doesn't help, and too much of course doesn't help. I can't back it up or go into detail 'cause I don't remember any of it :(

You're suppose to eat more then 3 times a day, somewhere around 6. Three meals, and three snacks between meals.
You're body never knows when it's going to get food, so it stores fat. But if you eat constantly (6 healthy meals/snacks) and work out, your body knows it's getting food, and doesn't have to store anything. So you loose weight.

agreed, the less you eat, the more weight you'll find you put on, as your digestive system will become more efficient with regards to absorbing sugars and fats to be able to fuel you for when you aren't eating...

I don't really get it from my parents anymore because I've learnt my ways around them. But I totally get the anger coming from the little comments about skipping a meal. I don't get how people could eat 2000cals EVERY DAY?! I mean I eat like 200 a day and still manage to gain ffs. Well few I'm glad I got my vent then haha. Good luck x

I know how you feel. My dad force feeds me, even when I'm not hungry. And it's a bunch of crap like hohos and ice cream

What if you could go back in time, and take all those hours
of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?

Generally, the more meals someone eats in a day, the smaller each meal is.  So people who eat three meals eat less in each meal than those who eat one or two.

That said, people have incredibly different metabolisms, so comparing to other people might not work out.

As others have said you will loose weight faster if you eat more meals, not less. You obviously do not know very much about nutrition. Please go and learn about it. bodybuilding.com has some good articles on nutrition and weight loss.
