A lot of people recommend 5-6 meals a day, but as far as I'm concerned it's a matter of doing what works for you. I used to do this (2 of my 5 meals were more snacks than meals though), but honestly found eating that often a pain. I switched to three bigger meals and had no issues. Just eat until your satisfied and let the number of meals fall out of that is my take on it. Some people prefer more, others less. But there's no real reason to force yourself into one or the other. If you aren't hungry, you probably don't need to eat. That simple.
And I didn't explicitly say it before, but when I say focus on meat, veggies, nuts, seeds and oils (in other words, fats), have some of each at every meal. No exceptions. Although if you're going to skip one, carbs are the easiest to pass over without any adverse effects.
