Pretty much as the title says. Do all proffessional bodybuilders eat around 4-6, 6-8 meals per day?
I'm just wondering cause I read that timing is irrelevent but I'm trying to keep a good physique at the moment while getting bigger and maybe someday I'll do bodybuilding but I'm not sure if it really makes the difference.

Well, start putting zero energy into figuring out meal timing and meal frequency, and all energy into eating correct amount of macro and micronutrients. Meal frequency will take care of itself when you know what foods you want to eat and how much of them.

yes all the vids you see of them eating multiple meals is bs...they only eat breakfast lunch and dinner. according to the bbing.com geniuses!!! LMAO
and when i trained in the same gym as Matt Duval.. and Rich Gaspari owned ( and trained with him multiple times ) and they used to bring in loads of tupperware meals of food for the day..
it was all bs they threw them away and only ate like 3 meals...SMH.
science backs that up i read it on the internet.

What do you think happens to the other nutrients? They disappear? Digestion and nutrient absorption is a long process.

Exactly this, insulin plays a big role on how they are going to layout their diet if they want the effects of insulin to maximize their gains. They cant just for example eat all their food at once and take a **** load of insulin and expect it to be the same as spreading out their insulin usage (however they may do that) and spreading out their food intake to maximize the effects of the insulin and muscle building. As well help minimize the negative effects such as intra abdominal fat storage.
