Jeff W, link 6 doesn't seem to do very well in providing the backing you are looking for in my view, either-- although I'd have to get off my butt and read the whole thing.

Like I said, the results were mixed because the 1 meal/day made people hungrier and increase heart disease risk indicators, etc, but the 1 meal/day diet actually had positive effect on body composition(fat vs. lean mass)

The differences were modest, though--I don't claim that reduced meal frequency has an advantage over nibbling patterns, just that there isn't a substantial difference and both are viable approaches to dieting.
