In all of your meals and snacks, make sure it is about 60% carbs, 30% protein and 10% fat. When you're eating less more often, then it speeds up your metabolism because it is constantly processing food. Don't use snacks and stuff as an excuse to eat unhealthily or to just be eating all of the time. If you eat every 3 hours or so, it's just enough food to carry you to the next meal, keep you alert and energetic, and ensure that you have fewer cravings.
