Ok I'll bite
The main benefit is that 80% of people consuming 3 meals also eat snacks regularly between meals. Stuff such a lollies, chocolates and chips. Even after dinner people on 3 meals are more likely to have ice cream or cake or something rubbish like that. If you were taking in 6 meals u could time your last meal to be at 9pm therefore you are less likely to have that desert.
Also 6 meals diminishes your chances of over eating as the periods between meals is shorter. Let's say for example I had planned to eat at 8 am and 12 pm then some thing urgent comes up at 11:30am and now lunch gets pushed back to 2:30, having not ate for 6 and a half hours chances of over eating are greatly increased, if on the other hand I was eating at 8 am, 11 am and 2 pm I would be only be over shooting my planned meal by 30 minutes.
If you eat 6 meals you are going to be forced to cook all your food the night before or in the mornings as you can't be running off to the shops every few hours to buy a meal. Also Home cooked meals are typically healthier than food from a takeaway shop or restaurant.
I could keep going but it's late and I'm tired

See above
Meh 6 meals is better than 3, I understand that the evidence is says that one is not better then the other and it really comes down to what works for the individual, but I just don't know a single body builder that doesn't eat 6 meals a day. If that makes me a bro scientist than so be it. As I'd prefer to go with people who I see getting results over keyboard warriors.
Oh wow the comeback that no one has heard before ''I don't know a bodybuilder..'' Well I don' know a ''bodybuilder'' who looks any good more than 1 day a year and can't stick to that routine for more than 12 weeks without wanting to neck themselves....Meh 6 meals is better than 3, I understand that the evidence is says that one is not better then the other and it really comes down to what works for the individual, but I just don't know a single body builder that doesn't eat 6 meals a day.

notsureifsrs.Yeah, I know a stack of builders, figure competitors and strength athletes who eat five or greater meals a day all day, every day, all year. And a lot of them look damn good all day, every day, all year. I'm not trying to prove one theory over the other, but if the post you've quoted (somewhat derogatorily) is broscience - you two just might be bro's. I eat five or more meals a day, and handle it just fine. I like to eat a lot, and find that if I try and eat as much as I would like in only three sittings, I end up feeling like crap. I think a lot of people will agree with me in saying that 'listen to your body' and decide what suits it best.
Don't get me wrong, the post you've quoted makes little sense. But having said that, it makes more sense than your rationalisation.
