    Abstract\nIncreased meal frequency (MF) may be associated with improvements in blood-markers of health and body composition during weight loss; however this claim has not been validated.\n\nTo determine if either a two meal (2MF) or six meal frequency (6MF) regimen can improve body composition and blood-based markers of health while consuming a portion-controlled equi-hypocaloric diet. Eleven (N = 11) obese women (52 ± 7 years

    101.7 ± 22.6 kg

    39.1 ± 7.6 kg/m2) were randomized into treatment condition (2MF or 6MF) for two weeks

    completed a two-week washout

    and alternated treatment conditions. In pre/post fashion

    changes in body composition

    glucose

    insulin and lipid components were measured in response to a test meal. Body mass was successfully lost (p≤0.05) under both feeding regimens (2MF: -2.8 ± 1.5 vs. 6MF: -1.9 ± 1.5 kg). Altering MF did not impact glucose

    insulin

    total-cholesterol

    or LDL-C (p>0.05). On average

    fat-free mass (FFM) decreased by -3.3 ± 2.6% following the 2MF condition and on average increase by 1.2 ± 1.7% in FFM following the 6MF condition (p≤0.05). Fasting HDL-C percent increased during the 2MF condition; this was significantly greater than the 6MF condition (1.3 ± 12.2% vs. 0.12 ± 10.3%) (p≤0.05). Overall

    reductions in MF (2MF) were associated with improved HDL-C levels

    but clinical significance is not clear. Alternatively

    increased MF (6MF) did appear to favorably preserve FFM during weight loss. In conclusion

    caloric restriction was effective in reducing body mass and attenuating FFM changes in body composition

    however glucose

    insulin

    and lipid metabolism had no significant differences between MF.\n\nKeywords\nobesity; reduced-calorie diet; eating frequency; fat mass; lean body mass; insulin; glucose; lipid concentrations
