Answer: Your body is like an engine and needs constant sources (but not excessive amounts) of fuel. The very best way to boost your metabolism so that your body can perform optimally both physically and mentally is to consume some foods and beverages every few hours. There's no magical number of hours that should pass in between eating occasions. However, a good rule of thumb is to eat relatively small meals and snacks every few hours (3 or 4 is ideal for most). Having a nutrient-dense breakfast (for example, even something as simple as a hard boiled egg, banana, and 1 cup of skim milk) and consuming meals and snacks at spaced intervals throughout the day is the best way to show your body you're not starving it of fuel. Make sure you eat when you're hungry, but not ravenous. If you tend to skip meals or go more than 4 or 5 hours in between meals and snacks (and often find yourself feeling really hungry), you're likely to suffer both mentally and physically. You may feel sapped, lethargic, tired, and feel like taking a nap. You may also get to the point where you're excessively hungry--and you know this can make you want to eat everything in sight and consume tempting, high calorie, nutrient-poor treats you often try to limit.
