Eat five times a day and never fast is very old school. When I was trying to gain weight I would eat 6 times a day. Watched low fat and low sugar.
But it seems things changed Intermittent fasting is actual working and even a 24 hour fast can be beneficial.
Also Calories in and out are a very easy way to lose weight if you calculate correctly. Lot of people overestimate what they burn.
I practice intermittent fasting and now I can maintain low BF % all the time. while using the 5 to 6 meals a day was great for getting more muscle on with a bit of fat gain. But eating 5 to 6 meals a day on low calorie consumption sucks and is not maintainable in the long run.
Some good material with studies to back it up:
