    Growing muscles takes a long time, and consistent effort with lifting and diet. How much are you eating? Is this a surplus, maintainance or a deficit for you?

    You didn't answer the question - the calories are what matter, not the number of meals. If you want to look more defined, you need to lose fat. If you're happy with your weight, consider eating at maintenance whilst lifting to recomp.
