4. Eat More Often

To gain weight, you will be eating a large amount of calories. Unfortunately, your body can only assimilate a certain number of calories at each meal. For our purposes, eating three meals per day is not beneficial. If you had to eat 3,000 calories per day, then you would end up eating 1,000 calories at each meal. The average person can only use a portion of those calories. The excess will be stored as fat or removed from the body.

To enable your body to actually assimilate and use the 3,000 calories you will ingest, you have to reduce your meal size and increase your meal frequency. Splitting your calories into smaller, more frequent portions will enable food absorption and utilization of nutrients . I always eat six meals each day, evenly spaced out at three-hour intervals.

My goal is to provide my body with constant nourishment throughout the day. So if it typically takes about 2.5 hours to digest most meals, want to be eating another meal just as my last meal is leaving my stomach. I do this because my body is constantly in need of nutrients to repair itself. I do a lot of damage during my workouts and completely stress my system. My body is trying to "adapt to the stress," but in order to do this, it needs consistent fuel.

If I ate only three meals per day, then my body would be without nutrients for about six hours between each of those meals! This is unacceptable for skinny guys. Without food, your body will quickly begin to breakdown muscle tissue for energy.

this is from one of the admin's stickies.. One question

what if we can only eat 3 meals a day but maybe 2 in the afternoon after 5 so 4 meals a day instead of 6-7 would that be fine.. we arnt allowed to bring food in our classes...

That would be fine - as long as you can get down the required calories then that is what is going to matter.

Even if you did:
breakfast meal
Lunch meal
After school meal
Dinner meal
Before bed meal

Then that would be fine.

But what about eating BETWEEN classes? Or, you could pack a shaker bottle with some ground oats, protein powder, flaxseed meal and skim milk powder in it and then just drink this as a meal (or do they stop you drinking too??).

Other things you can try are nuts, low sodium ff beef jerky, roasted chick-peas, dried fruits etc etc... These can all easily be put into a baggie in your pocket and snacked on. A home made protein bar could also work (just break off bits and eat).

I always like eating a all natural peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread. I'll eat half one period, and then a few periods later eat the other half. It's very quick and easy, but as Emma said, the shaker bottle is a great idea.
