You probably dont even know the reason why you need high protein intake and eat 6 small meals anyways....
Oh please do educate me wise one.

Is it because I need to keep my metabolism revving up?

Oh wait, turns out, meal frequency doesn't do shit for that!

More importantly, studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly-labelled water to assess total 24 h energy expenditure find no difference between nibbling and gorging.
Is it because I might go into STARVATION MODE and my body will lower its metabolism so that I won't lose fat?

Oh looky, turns out that your metabolism actually goes up in the short term.

Resting energy expenditure increases in early starvation, accompanied by an increase in plasma norepinephrine.
Maybe if I don't eat 6 meals a day, all that protein I eat will go to WASTE

Perhaps you were thinking of this study?

NEWS FLASH! People don't eat just whey in a fasted state!

If you ate a huge 32 oz steak in one meal, it would not pass through your system in 3-4 hrs. It'd take closer to 24 which SURPRISE would keep your body anabolic.

Do you body build and do you compete?

Oh you don't? I didn't think so. GO BROSCIENCE!
