Also consider that a more muscular person will burn more calories than a less muscular person of the same weight; without feeding your muscles properly, the muscle will not grow and therefore, optimum calorie burning may not be achieved.

However, at the end of the day, some of the fat burning techniques discussed above will work better on some than others. Only the OP can fine tune his body in order to achieve optimum muscle growth and fat burning. In the case of an overweight person, I would recommend multiple small meals per day rather than a few large ones; not just is it healthier IMO but allows the person to discipline their portions better, thus possibly leading to the lifestyle change that can help stay trim and healthy for the long haul.

So I provide TWO PubMed articles and you shoot them down with no studies to back them up? Strong logic there

That is a myth, see the following by Alan Aragon:

Based on the available evidence, it’s false to assume that the body can only use a certain amount of protein per meal. Studies examining short-term effects have provided hints towards what might be an optimal protein dose for maximizing anabolism, but trials drawn out over longer periods haven’t supported this idea. So, is there a limit to how much protein per meal can be effectively used? Yes there is, but this limit is likely similar to the amount that’s maximally effective in an entire day. What’s the most protein that the body can effectively use in an entire day? The short answer is, a lot more than 20-30 g. The long answer is, it depends on several factors. In most cases it’s not too far from a gram per pound in drug-free trainees, given that adequate total calories are provided [8,9].

You guys are stuck with old science that has been updated - time to get educated!
