    That’s not how metabolism works. You’d need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.

    If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.

      Telling someone to get checked for diabetes is rude. There are nicer ways to talk about glycogen stores getting exhausted every 2-3 hours resulting in the modern snack culture.

          You can keep your internet diagnoses to yourself. My doctor told me that eating small portions throughout the day is a healthy habit to keep the gastrointestinal system working throughout the day, and ends up helping you lose weight.
