[freqfly]

I eat between 6-8 meals per day, usually spaced between 2-3hours of each other. wanted your opinions.

Damn you have that much free time on your hands to eat 6-8 meals everyday?

If you ate 7meals every 2.5 hours that's 17.5 hours a day.

I try to do 6.
Atleast 3 meals, sometimes 4, and 2-3 shakes.

Around that, 1st meal is usually between 7:30 and 8am and last one is around 11pm. And when I say meals, I mean everything from solid meals to shakes. 4 solid food, 3 shakes on WO days.

I do every 2-3 hours. Carbs, fats, protein, every meal. Usually around 40-60 carbs, 10-15 grams of fat, and 40-50 grams of protein. I want to try Layne Norton's approach, having a meal, then having BCAA's between meals, waiting 4-5 hours between meals that way. Anyone else familiar with his approach?

ive been eating 6 whole meals each day, usually 2 hours apart. SOunds like i would be a fat ass but im not. I think 3 hours is best.

I like 2-3 as well, all dependent upon schedule.

6 meals a day , 3 hours

 

[TenMan]

5-6 meals roughly three hours apart.

If it's working for you keep doing it.

ummmm . . . .

How about 15 hrs --
2 meals every 2.5 hrs = 2.5 hrs
3 meals every 2.5 hrs = 5 hrs
4 meals every 2.5 hrs = 7.5 hrs . . . and so on

If you keep using math like that, when you go to finish your fence and you put in 7 posts and buy boards for 7 panels you're going to end up with left over wood . . . jk

I think 4 hours in between meals is essential.
