But I was told to eat 5 to 7 times per day to speed up my metabolism.

By eating a lot throughout the day, you are constantly spiking your insulin levels.  Remember that insulin is the fat storing hormone, and you cannot burn fat when it’s elevated.  If your goal is to burn fat, eating multiple times per day is probably one of the worst things you can do.  This is also why we encourage you to not “graze” or “snack” in between meals.
