What matters the most for losing fat is the overall number of calories that you are consuming…and making sure that this number is putting you in a deficit
Sure, there are slight advantages to eating frequently and there are advantages of eating 1-2 times a day
For fat loss though, your absolute best bet is to eat the number of meals that is the most CONVENIENT for you and to make sure that the total calories in those meals put you in a healthy deficit
If you are working out regularly then I would suggest that you try to get a good amount of your calories around your workout, if possible
If building muscle is one of your main goals, then spreading your meals/protein intake throughout the day can be helpful.
