Eat like a bodybuilder.
There are tons of articles on what to eat.

NOTHING is sacred.
"BUT... it's way too easy to get caught up in all this ****ing minutia- like the kids on the Teen forums who won't eat regular peanut butter because it has 4g of sugar or whatever, ATG nazis, obsessing about every part of training, etc. Simplicity works." -101CavGrunt

Nope, but given that so many people are worried about eliminating saturated fats, and rarely get enough EFA's unless they supplement, it is hard to be precise here. As I said, my post was a gross oversimplification.
I can post some studies later when I am not so sleepy from ensuring that my hormonal levels are peaking.

No, it is not THAT important. If you consume 100 calories 10 times a day, you will loose weight. If you consume 3,500 calories in one meal, you will gain weight.
Famous 6 meals/day formula is good because:
1) If you are gaining weight, it is much easier to consumer 4,000 calories over 6 meals rather than 3. You will not get tired, or feel extremely full.
2) If you are loosing weight, it is much easier to eat 6 small meals, rather than eat 3 meals and have periods of bad hunger.
And finally, your diet depends on your goals. I compete in under 181lb weight category, so I maintain my weight. I eat like a normal person (when I get hungry), but eat only healthy foods (good proteins/carbs). Generally speaking, when you are on gaining weight diet, your strength grows much faster.
