how often do you eat?

[nvrenuf1]

3-4 meals and 3 shakes a day.

 

[WannaBe]

three meals and three shakes. sometimes 3 meals and 4 shakes. i hate eating all the time and carrying around a jug of water. if i am hungry that is a sign that my body needs more supplies.

 

[string_bean00]

Meals

6-8, about every 2-2.5 hours.

 

[Rugger7]

First, I am no chick

Second, i eat pretty shitty, but i drink proteinshakes approx of 150grams every day...and food and other stuff on that afterwards..
I heard something that proteinshakes are fast protein...and you should try to devide fast and slow protein...or something...
anyone know ?

Supplements and food are not the same thing, no matter how much Tommy Lasorda and Slim Fast tell you they are. A drink for breakfast, a drink for lunch, a drink for dinner! I say you need at least 6 whole food meals a day. I add a post-workout protein/dextrose/creatine shake and a midsleep shake that is a MRP with vitamins, minerals, Omega-3,6,9, flax powder, l-glutamine.

 

[L8 Apex]

I eat every 2-4hrs, shoot for 3hrs, 5 whole food meals a day with 2-3 protein shakes. One in morning when I get up and post work-out.

I tend to eat less on the weekend because I'm not in school, and I sleep about 10-12 hours too.

 

[lil'shortstack]

I eat whenever my man does, which is all the time! he he....
Like they say " The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"

 

[huskyguy]

At least 6 full meals a day this is the minimum, I also try to fit in a protein shake in between all of these meals. I try to eat healthy all the time, but sometimes that is easier said than done. I am constantly eating except in late evening when I only drink water or iced tea.

Liquid meals

 

[BuildIt]

5:50am = wake up
6:29am = protein shake (chocolate whey, oatmeal, banana, water)
6:45am = in the Gym
8:30am = back home
8:45am = protein shake (chocolate whey & water) and some sort of breakfast... usually eggs, a bagel with peanut butter
10:00am = class
12:00pm = lunch (changes daily)
2:00pm = snack (granola, cottage cheese, etc...)
5:30pm = back home
6:00pm = dinner (usually chicken breast, or turkey burger)
7:30pm = snack
8:00pm = protein shake (chocolate whey & water)
11:00pm = bed


This does sometime change, and might not be exactly accurate.

 

[huskyguy]

Buildit--- I take it that you are cutting? I could not get by on that little food.

 

[huskyguy]

Eating more often is better for you than 2 or 3 large meals, when cutting I eat 7 to 8 times a day--less food, lower fats and carbs, when bulking I eat the same types of food just an incredible amount of it, and one meal seems to flow into the next--constant grazing=weight gain

 

[cnynrpr]

5:45 - Breakfast (either 3/4 cup oatmeal with milk mixed with 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1tbsp natty pb or 1-2 cups Kellogg's Smart Start cereal if no time to make other breakfast)
9:00 - Protein & Carb combo (1 apple, 3eggs, 1/2 can of beans, or 1 apple, tuna omellete (1/2 can tuna & 3 eggs) and 1/3 - 1/2 yam)
12:00 - Chicken breast, vegetables, 1/2 yam
3:00 - Similar to 9AM meal with no apple, just a bit more beans and eggs or more tuna omellette
6:00 - 2 hardboiled eggs with a little soy (commute home food, quick and simple)
Workout
Post-workout - 25g-35g of whey protein, less than 1 tbsp honey, mixed with water...then dinner right after
8-9PM - Chicken breast, vegetables, apple, maybe yam
11PM - 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1 tbsp natty pb.

I adjust dosage to lose fat or gain mass. I'm also including more simple carbs in my dinner such as a little rice or some pasta. believe it or not, I spend less than 30 minutes preparing my next day meal and that night's dinner and I pack it all up.

 

[aikido_dragon]

I eat 6 times a day.....but on sundays I give myself a free day to eat all the pizza and beer I can get my hands on. It works well, I can get all my cravings under controle and one day isn't going to set you back to much.

 

[IFBBPro]

4 or 5 meals a day + 2 or 3 shakes a day.. thats about 7 times a day.

 

[Mrs Massacre]

7+ times a day.

2 hour intervals.

 

[Narkissos]

As often as I can. Sometime I will get in 4 large meals, other days I will get around 7 or 8 meals. It all depends what I have to do that day and if I feel like making food all day.

Ditto...

Also depends on what phase i'm in.

During contest prep... I HAVE to eat certain things at certain times.

Phases relegate my eating frequency...and meal composition

[Maraxus]

I consume 6 solid meals per day. I typically also consume 2-3 shakes perday, my PWO is a whey, dex shake and my 3rd meal is also a shake w/flax. If I wake up in the middle of the night I consume another whey/flax shake, thats if I wake up.

 

[Vennom96]

I sleep a lot so I usually get 4 solid meals, pw shake, + 2 more shakes, and snacks w/ protein such as yogurt, cottage cheese, power bars, etc.
