There's a lot of debate and different opinions on this subject, and I think a lot of it comes down to what works best for you.
There are people that love fasting and they wind up taking in a lot of their protein intake in smaller windows of time.
Then, there are those that space their meals/protein out in 5 to 6 small meals per day.
I've tried both ways and for muscle gains, I by far do better at 6 small meals per day.
