A friend of mine recently went on a diet which emphasizes small portions of healthy foods at mealtimes and zero snacking between meals. He mentioned that his energy levels have increased tremendously in the few weeks he has followed this approach to eating.
I've also started to cut back on meal sizes and stopped nibbling between meals, and likewise feel a greater sense of well-being and stronger life energy. So in a certain sense, rather than working to 'develop' this life energy, just by eating less I am "freeing" the energy by avoiding the consumption of unnecessary calories. Fasting is said to boost mental clarity and energy - perhaps eating less has similar benefits on a smaller scale?

Personally, I think eating more often is the way to go. I agree with Ashe that the energy boost is probably from a cleaned up diet and not from cutting back on calories. Both my wife and I get groggy and irritable if we don't eat throughout the day (3 meals plus lots of snacks, or 5-6 small meals).
