If you leave it longer than 3 hours between meals your body goes in to starvation mode. It then stores up more "crap" when you do eat. It does also start "eating" away at your muscle. I cant find the article but its something along them lines. Am I wrong in thinking this was correct?
Not as such
starvation mode is after fasting and hibernation mode a long way down the line...a long long way down
The notion of more meals = crank up metabolism, keep blood sugar levels stable, keep satiety high, keep aminos supply for turnover and not throwing too many carbs at (possibly) full glycogen stores
They are some reasons. The loss of muscle will not occur for weeks, atrophy also wont occur for at least two
