The "Warrior Diet's" been around for years, and it's for people who have to be "pre-peaking" physically at all times, e.g. ready for intense combat.
A good idea for a soldier, I'm sure you'll agree...
Here's the concept:

Ori Hofmekler is a very lean and fit former columnist for Penthouse magazine, a world-renown artist (his paintings are best known for their political satire), and the founder and Editor-In-Chief of the men’s health and fitness magazine Mind & Muscle Power. He eats three square meals a day – all in the evening at one sitting. He calls it the "Warrior Diet," and he’s convinced that most of us, men and women, would be better off eating the same way. He also offers a line of Warrior supplements.Snip
This study (as do several others) takes the "frequency" angle:

The conclusion I come to is this: Based on individual records (say, bodybuilders v. General McChrystal) and results from either system, they both obviously work; eating 5 meals a day won't predispose you to bingeing as easily as fasting 'til the night (I've done both-one meal at night due to circumstance and necessity
a la patrolling); I never get out of my hunger "comfort zone" when I eat several during the day. (And, I don't get fatter.)
I glean from everything I've read (linked thru google) that it doesn't really matter when you ingest the chow, just that it's in the right amount and nutritional makeup.
So, if I'm getting the same results whether 5 meals or 1, and 5's easier to do, guess which one the Dustmeister's gonna stick with?
That's just me, though...
