People simply twist it and misstate it. Many smaller meals helps support a faster metabolism. It does not, in itself cause an net increase in overall metabolic rates. Generally speaking, your metabolism speeds up and slows down in proportion to the amount of food you consume, when you consume it. It does nothing to control hunger being that if you are eating clean, well balanced and calorie controlled meals, you should be hungry every few hours, timed to your meals.
Many smaller meals of the right food, also helps a great deal to regulate and stabilize blood sugar and energy levels.
