If you wait til you actually feel full, then you are pushing your stomach's limits every time. Much better to have a smaller meal and accept a less than completely full feeling at the end of it. Chances are if you wait 15 minutes you'll feel full. It just takes that amount of time for it all to register.

Eating multiple small meals a day will keep your metabolism going as well. But, these meals must be small. People who want to gain weight eat multiple protein packed meals a day.
