Oh. Just physiology of course.
Metabolism rises each time you eat largely due to TEF
Let's do some math: Let's say our TEF % amongst our entire meal is 10%.
Person A eats 1 meal in the entire day consisting of 3000 kcals just arbitrarily. 3k * .1 = 300kcals burned due to TEF
Person B eats 6 meals each of 500kcals, totaling again in 3000 kcals. 500kcals * .1 = 50kcals/meal * 6 meals = 300 kcals burned due to TEF
I just mean that's the most extreme case is all lol
Typically no more than 100-200
this.
AND, most people act like they have a fast metabolism and burn 4,000 calories while another person of identical details will burn 2,000 calories and that just isn't the case.
Even so, like Balla said average difference isn't 500, those are extreme cases.

Proof of what you're all saying: " meal frequency still doesn't matter because it's dependent upon the # of total kcals," for example
There is actually a TON of research on this and it's pretty well accepted now. In fact, I posted a couple of links in the article thread a while back on this subject specifically.
