Being a calorie counting fiend, I know my BMR is around 1300. Do I need to evenly space my calories between 3 meals? Because my natural inclination would be to eat the fewest for breakfast and the most for dinner . How important is this?

This is exactly opposite of what it should be. Remember, you are coming out of an 8 hour fast basically when you sleep. You need to eat a big breakfast as it will all get used up by the end of the day. Also once your metabolism is awake it starts to slow down throughout the day with it being at its slowest by the end, so in order to lose fat, you need to eat the least at the end of the day.
I heard it explained to me like this, eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper.
