    How to properly eat 5-6 meals a day

    I was told by someone that I know that in order to gain weight, I need to eat 5-6 meals a day. These meals have to consist of a meaty protein, a complex carb, and a fibrous carb. I wanted to prepare everything at the beginning of the week so I could just grab and go when going to work. I'm finding this pretty impossible because cooked steak, chicken, beef, etc. doesn't last more than a few days in the fridge. When I go back to school, I won't have a fridge to store things in like I do at work, so this diet won't work then at all. I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain to me how they prepare their meals? It's truly a hassle to cook multiple times a week.

    - Thanks in advance.

    Read the stickies. You don't need 5-6 meals.

    This is simply not true. Weight gain is governed by daily energy balance, not meal frequency.

    You do not need to eat 5-6 meals per day. Meal timing and frequency are personal preference and have no affect on overall body composition.

    Not exactly.

    Meal timing and frequency are largely irrelevant in terms of their direct impact on bodyweight and composition, but both factors can and do influence satiety, palatability, energy, performance, convenience, etc.

    I thought if you spread out meals it helps with digestion and metabolic rate? I'm pretty much new to everything and the person that told me to eat meat with every meal is a PT and competitor so I assumed he knew what he was talking about. I'm 6'0" 160 lbs, I need to gain weight. If I don't have to eat meat with every meal, can someone tell me what to eat that has high calories/is healthy/will help me gain weight? For the past two weeks I've been having oatmeal with a scoop of whey and a teaspoon of flax seeds for breakfast, and 4oz of steak/chicken/ or beef with one cup of brown rice and one cup of veggies.

    I typically cook on Sunday. I'll prepare meals for the 5-day work week. I'll put Monday and Tuesday in the fridge. I'll freeze W, R, and Friday's meals and then take them out the night before, letting it defrost on the counter overnight. Wake up, put in cooler, and gone!

    All are stored in individual tupperware containers.

    That's simply not true. The myth probably started with supplement company ads that encouraged frequent meals with the intent of making meal replacement shakes (protein powders) popular.

    To learn why, start with leangains.com.

    I also suggest you read:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19943985
    This study shows there was no difference in weight loss between subjects with high/low meal frequencies.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494
    Evidence supports that meal frequency has nothing to do with energy in the subjects.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11319656
    Yet again, no difference in energy in the subjects compared to 2 meals/d to 6 meals/d.

    So how do you space out your meals then? I can imagine it'd be tough to eat 3 meals a day and hit your caloric needs. I'm just trying to figure out a doable routine.

    I usually consume about 3,800 calories per day over two or three meals, consumed when I'm hungry.

    That said, you should set your meal frequency and timing based on your preference.

    Ah okay. I'm pretty much new to proper nutrition. so I took the 5 meal thing to the extreme but realized how impossible and hectic it would be. It'd be a lot easier to prepare larger meals to be eaten less frequently. Can you link me to a site or just tell me what to eat/portion size to get to that high calorie count?

    So it's not so much what you eat, it's more about eating healthily in general to reach said goals. I'll start logging ASAP and switch back to 3 meals a day.
    - Thanks again, everyone.

    Now people correct me if Im wrong, but if you want to get your macro requirements you have to consume more food than your average person. With this assumption in place wouldn't 1 or 2 large meals put a lot more stress on your digestive and enzymatic system?

    None of the stickies give example diets. I need to know what I can swap meat out for. All I see are snacks and breakfast that are high calorie.

    Consume foods that you enjoy in combinations and quantities that meet your energy and micro/macronutrient goals.

    You don't need 5-6 meals a day. It won't hurt to have them, but it isn't needed. Personally when I'm bulking, I find eating a few extra meals easier on my stomach than eating a few big meals, but that is really the only reason why I do.
    I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
    Jesus is my Savior. I am proud to call myself a Christian

    True. My mistake

    OP, just make sure that you yourself are not consuming 3800 calories a day, as these are Wonderpug's TDEE. Calculate your own calorie needs. Based on your knowledge of nutrition, it is likely that you are not in the same shape as wonderpug, and its more likely that you are trying to lose weight.

    Read and understand the stickies

    Calculate your calorie and macro needs

    Self control

    ???

    profit.
