Small, more frequent meals/snacks seem superior from the health standpoint.

"[Fabry] found that if people ate one sixth of their food six times a day
rather than one third of their food three times, there would be, when
indicated, weight loss, reduction in serum cholesterol and an improvement in
the glucose tolerance pattern.1

In another study, seven men ate 2500 calories a day. For one two-week
period, they got their food in three ordinary size meals. For the next two
weeks, they received the same amount of calories in 17 daily snacks eaten
once an hour.

The nibbling diet lowered their cholesterol by 9% and their levels of
hazardous low-density lipoproteins cholesterol, or LDL, by 14%, also
observed was a decline in insulin by approximately 28%, and the urinary
cortisol levels by 17%. These patients did not receive a low cholesterol
diet and yet their lipid profile improved."2
