I have never seen a study that said it was better. I have seen a ton of articles by nutritionists touting the "benefits" of more frequent, smaller meals. I trust nutritionists about as far as I can throw them.

Our ancestors also didn't drink copious amounts of coffee, pop, juice and eat food drowned in sodium either!
