How many times per day do you eat?

[FitnessCPA]

On a typical day, how many times do you eat? If you go to the fridge between meals and eat a grape, please don't count that.

Just curious. I have typically been a 5-6 meal a day guy, but I'm testing out the same macros on three meals to see how I feel. If I feel more satisfied throughout the day, I'm going to stick with it.

It doesnt matter how many times you eat in the day. As long as you hit your amount of calories/macronutrient targets. Just eat whenever it is convenient for you

[WonderPug]

Usually two or three times per day for a total of about 3,700 calories.

[Javid_Shanghai]

this month I eat only 2 times per day for total 3000-3300 cal. 600 cal for morning breakfast and rest of cal for big pwo meal.

[waqas11]

Hmm, around 4x a day..breakfast,lunch,dinner then pre-bed meal becuase i cant sleep on a empty stomach.

[thebankcard]

4 times a day cutting 2400 and 6-7 when eating 3700 bulking. find it hard to eat all that in 4 meals unless i go out to eat.

[cupster]

3 meals while kind of following IF protocol:

1. pre-workout: whey shake with milk, PB and 2 bananas
2. post-workout: 350g chicken breast (cooked with oil) with 1-2 cups of white rice
3. 3-4 eggs with 2-3 slices of white bread

I feel great on this meal plan. Lots of energy for workouts and long duration of satiety on the post-workout meal. I do this mon-fri, then weekends I just eat anything I want, only keeping track of calories and protein intake.

Varies from day to day. 3-6 typically

Plus to answer the original post I get 2200 cals a day on my cut
I eat one meal when i wake around 1500 calories
then another big meal after my workout at 700 calories

(I like a massive breakfast!)

[ZMan45]

Whenever I want something. Sometimes I eat a lot at night, other days I'm constantly eating something. I don't count, I'll say that.

[DarthInvadeHer]

Usually 3 meals a day and 1-2 snacks. Idk how many calories cuz I haven't been counting.

[ls1goat04]

i eat 7 times a day, around 3500 to 3800 cals. im up from 430am to 9pm so i have to fuel up every few hours or im losing weight. each meal is 4-600 cals, usually a chicken breast with a carb source, tuna sandwich, pbj, or my favorite venison with a carb source( got 2 deer this season)

[usawinston]

Usually two or three times per day for a total of about 3,700 calories.

I wish I could eat that much and not be in a 700-1500 calorie surplus.

[desslok]

Usually about 6 or 7 to keep that metabolic furnace stoked. But sometime will do 2 or 3 with some snacks.

I thought it was 12 times for maximal anabolism? What about the casein drip?

hahaha burn baby burn!

Isn't that why deer don't get fat, because they eat 50 tiny meals a day, whereas bears are fat because they eat once and make it last them a whole winter? The latter should definitely consider a casein drip for the several months they are sleeping.

[RunThenRunMore]

Once or twice within the first 2-3 hours of waking up for 2700-3000 calories. AM IFing FTW?

[bartosh]

cutting. 400 calorie meal for breakfast, protein shake after working out (if that counts for a meal), huge dinner

[Kahldris]

I have one "meal" per day but snack as I desire throughout the day.

I look very lean throughout the day but look overweight as fuk as I go to bed. I like going to bed stuffed.

[rhizome]

I eat every 4-6 hours with 6 grams of branched chain amigo acids between meals. This has been proven to be optimal for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and for adding slabs of mass. Stay anabrolic my friends.

[Simmo0508]

6-7x on days where i don't have as many appointments at work, so i have the time to. 4-5x on days where i'm busier. I still stick to the same caloric total of 5500-6000 though regardless, just meal size changes up depending.

[tacdgb]

I eat 5 times a day. 3 meals and 2 snacks. I am hypoglycemic and need to do that to keep my blood sugar up.

[womanoid]

Traditional eater. Breakfast, lunch & dinner with a snack. Occasionally just lunch &/or dinner.

[airpeters01]

Eating 2 meals a day now, sometimes 3

[JHarden]

3 or 4. Depends on if we're counting dinner and dessert as separate meals or not.

[MIYO]

Three times is typical. I don't have time to eat more than 5.

[SoYouThink]

5-6 times for me (office job) 7am,10am,1pm,3pm,6pm,9pm
