when being fed every 2-3 hours the body will not be encouraged to burn any of its stored fat for energy, either. Why should it bother digging out the fat stores for energy when it is being spoon-fed all day long?
When you eat three meals a day and have ample time between meals, the body is forced to burn that stored fat. Once the fat is restored as an active fuel supply you will see better energy, more stable moods, greater mental clarity, better sleep, less cravings and of course, natural and permanent weight management.

The size of meals matters as much as the number. Catabolism of muscle tissue only starts after two things happen:
1. Glucose and triglycerides from your last meal are not longer entering your bloodstream and...
2. Liver and part of muscle glycogen stores are depleted.
All of this takes somewhere between 10 to as much as 50 hours depending on the amount of calories of your last meal to the size of your liver and muscle glycogen stored.
A large meal furnishes more calories and takes longer to digest, thus delays catabolism longer. Once no more glucose an triclycerides are entering your bloodstream from your last meal, your body starts using the glycogen stored in your liver. Once this is gone, it starts to burn muscle glycogen. Muscle glycogen is never completely used because you need it for movement during a fast.
After that, muscle protein starts getting chewed up and taken to the liver to be converted into glucose via gluconeogenesis. The body chews up muscle protein first because this decreases metabolism. The body is programmed to survive, so it decreases muscle mass to decrease overall caloric needs. Muscle is maintained only as needed for movement. Then, when the body cannot use essential muscle, it takes the fat stored in fat cells to the liver where it is broken into short-chain glycerides and turned into glucose to furnish the body with energy. So this is the order:
1. Calories from meal...
2. Calories from liver and muscle glycogen..
3. Muscle protein...
4. Fat from fat cells...
Fat is the last to go. This is why weight training exercise is so essential. If you tell your body you need the muscle, it will spare it and go straight to bodyfat and not chew your muscles when you are in a caloric deficit and your live glycogen store is depleted. Look at marathoners. They have little fat but also little muscle. All that exercise puts them in a caloric deficit, and the body uses all their bodyfat for energy, but also their muscle tissue except for the quads and calves which they need for running.
