Thread: 8 meals.

I kick in 7 - 8 meals sometimes. I just lower the protien in each meal. The reasoning of six meals is just to have your metabolism working through out the whole day.

are u bulking or cutting?

since i am bulking i eat as many meals as possible..that way i don't have to cram large amounts of protein and carbs into just several main meals

I don't think it matters if you're are bulking or cutting, the more meals the better. If you can manage to eat every two hours rather than ever three you're better off. I am currently eating 7 meals, which is every 3 hours.

i amjust eating above my maitence with a refeed on wed and sun to add size and keep the fat gain down. I eat every 3 hours with exception to pw1 and pw2 which are only 1.5 hrs apart.

Ouch, well I can manage 7 meals a day but they are not that evenly spaced, sometimes I go 2 hours, sometimes 3 and sometimes 4, depending on what shift I work and what staff we have in and what breaks I get. But this year I am aiming to be up by half past five every morning and in bed for eleven pm

3 hours is fine, 4 is pushing it.

You're awake 21 hours a day?

7 meals every 3 hours would be

6AM
9AM
12PM
3PM
6PM
9PM
12 Midnight

That is 18 hours.

I was never good at math.

Even still, i dont think i could stand that kind of schedule for very long. Thats less than 6 hours of sleep a night (unless you include some valium in your last meal ).

I eat every three to four hours form the time I wake to the time I go to bed. Sometimes I get 7 in and sometimes I get 9 in depending on how early I rise.

thank god, no!

actually, one of my "meals" is my post-work-out shake.

so it looks like this:

7am meal 1
10am meal 2
1pm meal 3
4pm meal 4
7pm meal 5 - post work-out shake & energy recovery drink
8pm meal 6
11pm meal 7

I sleep 7-8 hours per night.

ahhh... i see. wasnt thinking about the post w/o shake.

on a side note (and i hope this doenst take the thread too far off topic) - is it beneficial to have a post w/o shake even if youre not spiking insulin? or is it just as well to schedule your w/o so the end of your w/o coincides with your next scheduled meal?

getting amino acids into your blood post work-out is critical, passing up this "anabolic window" is a huge mistake.

the older you get, the less you sleep.

if you trying to loose weight do you still eat that many meals
