The second study I thought was very interesting. They pretty proved my point. When you don't eat often your body started to breakdown protein for energy and slows down fat oxidation. If you don't eat small meals you basically are encourage muscle breakdown and slowing down fat metabolism.
Not if protein is adequate in the diet.

Let's not get into a game of cherry picking research to fit your model.

3 vs 6 meals

Both plans have equal calories and macros and both contain adequate protein and efas.

Why is 6 better than 3?
