every 3 hours? no~~Isn't that how babies get big and pretty. This is not a good idea for adults as you could give yourself diabetes. Every time you eat - insulin is called - and it will go up and down all day long. also your body won't have time to completely digest your previous meal. I got 'chewed-out' for saying this to a dear friend. She was upset with me because of being advised to eat these continual little meals (never allowing herself to get hungry) by a PAID nutrition person. She's now taking metformin.
