yeah...that was a thing and now it's not. the study I read related it back to our days as hunter gathers and the premise that we haven't had time to evolve beyond our basic metabolic programming....and that programming includes intermittent fasts.
I cna't speak for everyone but it works for me, I had a few pounds sitting right around my belly button that refused to leave, intermittent fasting got rid of it and it hasn't come back.
I could see eating like (6 - 8 meals/day) that if you are really trying to pack on muscle, but you'd have to be really specific...certain %'s at certain times of the day, pre/post exercise, etc, etc...
