5-6 meals a day

[MuscleBeach9999]

okay so i have heard that you should eat 5-6 small meals a day, perferably 3 hours apart

i also heard about eating 3 big meals a day with around 2-3 small meals a day. Anyways would this work a little better.

just mainly for the preparation. Its easier to make 3 good nutritious big meals. Than 6 throughout the day. I will still be eating snacks but a little less healthier, but i will still have my calorie intake anyways. Just in general will 3 big meals and 2-3 small snacks work

Ex:

Meal 1 10:00- 800 calories
Meal 2 1:00- 400 calories
Meal 3 4:00- 800 calories
Meal 4 7:00- 800 calories
Meal 5 10:00- 400 calories
Meal 6 12:00- 200 calories

But ya do you guys think this will work or not

I want to eat 3 big meals than 3 small meals.. Will this work

Eat as frequently as you wish. 8 meals or 1 meal, it does not make a difference.

You need to eat every 2 1/2 hours, not 3 otherwise all your muscles you built will disappear so it will be pointless going to the gym............................................... .................................................. .....

Not true. I heard from my friends little sister that you dont need to eat every 3 hours.

Doesnt matter much, do what works with your lifestyle etc

How can you be so wrong? You must eat every 2 hours (including during sleeping hours) otherwise you'll waste into oblivion (by morning).

Yeah, make sure to eat every 2 hours at night, or you'll be in a vicious circle - you will get too weak to lift up the cereal box in the morning, which will cost you even more muscle.

One guy who ran the gym at my old college told me he used to eat as much food as he could fit in his hand every hours on the dot from when he woke up til when he went to sleep.

Dumb and not needed.

Personal preference. More power to him.

Do you have studies to back this up? Because a guy I know who's sister bought ******* off this guy's brother said that it's every 2 1/2 hours and he's JACKED!

OP don't forget to wake up in the middle of the night to down a casien shake, otherwise your body will go into a catabolic state and you will lose muscle while you sleep.

I get a good chuckle in scrolling down these threads to see the same people coming up with funnier and more interesting ways to sarcastically answer these uninformed questions... hahaha.

On the real OP, everyone above is just messing with you because they are sick of people asking uninformed questions over and over again that are all addressed in the nutrition stickies. Eating 1 meal or 10 meals makes no difference at all. It is calories in/calories out that determines whether you gain or lose weight. I usually eat only 2 meals a day for convenience and the feeling of being extremely full with 1k+ calorie meals... Read the stickies for real. You can learn a lot. People have given useful information free of charge that you can learn a lot from... use it.

[MuscleBeach9999]

okay much appreciated.

It should have been "stop". I was referring to calorys instead of calories. Stupid auto fill on ipod
