Explanation:

burning more calories than consumed). Eating multiple low-calorie meals can help maintain satiety while keeping overall daily calorie intake low, which supports weight loss. Option A is false because high-calorie meals will lead to weight gain for sedentary people. Option B is not always true, as total calorie intake matters more than meal frequency alone. Option D is not always true, as weight gain depends on total calorie intake exceeding expenditure, not just fewer high-calorie meals (if total calories are still not in surplus, weight gain won't occur).
