    How important is meal consistancy?

    My first post and yes I'm a beginner at this stuff. So bare with me. . .

    I have a meal plan consisting of 6 meals. Meals 2, 3, and 4 are a bit lower in protein to level out the right amount of total grams of carbs and protein for the day. Meals 1, 5, and 6 are roughly the same. The last is the biggest with the theory my body will go that many hours without added nutrients I figure it would help rebuild through the night. The first meal is big using the same theory and the 5th meal is obvious, right after a work out. My meals are primarily composed of turkey and chicken, home cooked and what not the 5th meal is primarily whey protein since its a faster acting protein I figure I give myself right after a work out. . .

    How does this plan sound to some of you?

    I'm 6'2" 189lbs and my meal plan is 240g of Protein, 290g Carbs, and 38g of Fat pushing roughly 2500 calories. The total calorie sounds low IMO but I look at the gram and in my opinion seem somewhat optimal. But like I said I'm new to this hence me inquiring for advice.
