A larger meal simply sits in your GI tract longer and takes longer to digest.

That's why people who eat WAY below their caloric needs or try to outright starve themselves often have it backfire, because your body holds onto its stores more carefully if you're not getting a sufficient, constant caloric intake.

It has nothing to do with consistency and everything to do with sufficiency.
Starve your body and the physiological adaptations will go into overdrive.
Provide adequate calories by means of 3 meals or 10 meals and you get the same net result.
