5 good meals aday enough?

[PhenomHCL]

Yeah good plan, pretty much the same as mien

[Kutrik]

I think only one or two meal use in a day. This is best for every body. If we use more meals in a day then we face problems.

Wow thanks for that bro , im so confused because hoelw can sny1 get up to 2500 csls aday of only eating 2 meals i don't get it?? Things keep changing lol

well thats 1200-1300 calories per meal, and shooting for near 100g protein per meal right? so for a meal example

16oz flank steak - 106g protein, 32g fat, 735 calories
sweet potato 1 cup cubed up, cooked, mashed 37g carbs, 4g protein 162 calories
1/8 cup honey mixed with the potato 41g carbs, 152 calories
1 oz pecans mixed into the potato 20g fat, 4g carb, 3g protein 193 calories
1 cup broccoli 10g carbs, 6g protein 52 calories

so you've got 119g protein, 92g carbs (less the fiber, so more like 75-80), and 52g fats with a total of 1294 calories.

Ok so what your saying is 2 meals aday is fine? I thought every1 had to eat every 3 hours becsuse your body needs to refuil lol so confusin man lol wgat bwt breakfast?? What bwt after workout ? Post meal pre workour meal? Night time meal

[EasyEJL]

so long as you get the calories + protein from solid foods, it doesn't matter from 2 meals to however many.

More meals can be helpful mentally, in that when bulking some people have a hard time trying to take in 1500-2000 calories in each of 2 meals so breaking it up is simpler mentally. And when cutting, its sometimes mentally helpful to have the meals be frequent so you are always just a little hungry, never totally feeling empty and starving hungry. But as far as muscle growth/fat loss goes, eating the # of meals that fits your lifestyle and is convenient for you is all that matters.

Oh right ok so i was thinking can you give me 2 meals on a lean gain im trying to lean put abit losing bodyfat is hard lol im starting 10 min cardio and 10 min cardio after workout aswell

[EasyEJL]

Well, you've got one up above there. Then for another you could do 2 chicken breasts, a cup of rice, a banana and some source of healthy fats.

[Pika]

Ok so Wgen you think its best to take them meals?? What bowt shakes??

[EasyEJL]

2-3 hours before your workout if it makes sense, and then 6 or 7 hours later more or less. Or break it into 3 meals. Shakes just aren't important if you get enough solid whole food in, but they don't particularly hurt.

1. I certainly feel it is tough trying to convert back to 4+ meals a day after eating only 2 meals. After experiencing the psychological pleasure from two large meals, it is tough, I guess psychologically to adjust back to multiple small meals, imo.

2. For those who choose 2 meals, do you or continue with only 2 meals during a cut?

[SweetLou321]

It depends on how you feel.
If eat every 4-5hrs i'll be hungry in 2-3 no matter if i ate 500cals or 2000cals.
So i do a large breakfast(650-700cals)and avg 250-300 for snacks and 400-500lunch
400-500 dinner and 225-300 pre bed
This is my recovery plan with little training in morning its about 2400cals
On full blown training days i eat 9x smaller meals but works well hits about 2900-3100cals which wasn't enough lost muscle and overreached.Yet again!

Sorry bro, but... WHAT? Couldn't understand jack sh!t of that message.

[Pika]

Nothing man lol

[raptor20561]

some people respond better to eating more smaller meals due to food cravings, but once you get used to having 2-3 large meals a day + whey its not that bad. the cravings go away after about 5-7 days (for me at least).

[Pika]
