Your body can only digest so much food at once, and if you starve it, you'll begin cannibalizing muscle mass first, fat second.

Yes this is especially true if you're trying to absorb as much protein as possible. You can only process it at a certain max rate. As far as small vs large meals goes, the jury's still out on that. You can find studies to support either side of the argument. In the end, you figure out what works best for you.
