Are there studies that confirm this? There are several very well-respected trainers (and researchers) who advise eating within a specific, small window of time every day. If the total number of calories consumed is the same (with the same macro splits), I would argue that food timing is at least irrelevant. For me, after trying to get a nutrition regimen with many small meals to work, for years, I am doing very well eating within a four-hour window in the evening, right after weight training. For my temperament and type, this is so much better. And countless people seem to feel this way too.
Research has studied it and shows that eating more frequently does not significantly affect your caloric expenditure. It does help keep your more satiated throughout the day, but at the cost of increased wear/tear on your teeth.
