If you're disagreeing with me maybe I misinterpreted you.
Which would be strange, because that's exactly what I said, it is a mental issue.
No, meal frequency is not specific to the individual. If a person eats 3 meals a day, or if he eats 6 a day, as long as his calories and macros are identical, he will get the same results. I'd be willing to amend my view if I saw some research suggesting otherwise, but everything I'm familiar with says that meal timing does not matter. Where meal frequency does matter is in an individual's ability to stick to his diet. Since it doesn't matter how often you eat, you should pick the schedule that allows you to consistently get the nutrition you need for your goals, whatever they are. If you break your diet on 3 meals a day, that would be a bad choice. If you find 6 tiny meals intolerable, that would be a bad choice too. Edit: said meal timing when I meant frequency
