I always get my 6 to 7 meals a day. 6 typically on weekdays when I work, and 7 on weekends when I have more free time.
It might seem like a lot of meals, but your body adjusts to it and you can handle it better after some time.
What might help is keeping your meal portion sizes equivalent through out the day, so then your body can digest them at a nice efficient pace. My meals typically consist of whole foods, shake is sometimes part of the meal, but only if I want extra protein. I never just have a shake as a meal or a snack.

Roughly 5, Breakfast, Lunch Dinner. With 2 Bowls of porridge inbetween. Also a lot of snacks and 2 litres of milk a day

2 on training days and 3 on off days.
Training days I'm always much hungrier in the morning so my breakfast meal is usually 500-600 calories above what it is on rest days. Since I don't feel like having two smaller meals (leaving my self less satisfied), I just save the remaining calories and pack them all in during my final meal of the day.
Off days I'm less hungry so I tend to make meal size smaller and need the additional one to ensure I hit my targets.�USMC (2009-2013) �

I just graze all day long, no set meals, no set times, nothing, if I see something and I'm hungry, and wanna eat it, I'll eat it.

4 Meals @ 3500 calls with at least 50g protein per meal.
Typically I like to structure it something like this:
breakfast: 6-700cals
lunch (usually PWO): 1200-1500cals
dinner: 6-700
2nd dinner: rest of macros left over 6-700cals
I like 4 instead of 3 b/c sometimes it get uncomfortable with how large the meals get due to eating lots of whole, satiating foods.B.S. Exercise Science

5 main meals. No diet, eat whatever I want. Biggest meals are breakfast, lunch, afternoon, dinner, and a late night meal around 12am. I have a hard time eating enough to maintain since I run 80-118mi per week. After races you can catch me at the buffets feasting!

As many as I need to...as long as I'm withing my calorie limit.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

What do you classify as a meal? Eating in one sitting? It one dish
-
-
10-26-2013, 09:03 AM #57Depends really on what you classify as a meal. I have one snack a day between breakfast and lunch, it's light so I don't class it as a meal.Originally Posted by AlwaysTryin

Lol at saying 6-8 meals is "bull chit". I try and do it because it keeps me full and stops me from snacking on crap throughout the day. But it all depends on my calories and how busy I am.
