Healthier is subjective. Diabetics are taught to eat multiple small meals a day to manage blood sugar levels better.

That of course assuming you're diabetic, otherwise you are totally capable of consuming food either way.

Capable, but it doesn't matter since your blood sugar level will spike higher and for longer with a single large meal even in a non-diabetic individual.

And why, when compared to a constant elevated level from many small meals, is that a bad thing?

What diabetics are told to eat has generally been bullshit for good half a century. The whole low-fat craze and cholesterol horror stories I mean.
