whats the best time to eat lots and lots of food when bulking (swaining) should one do it preworkout for added energy at the gym, post to refuel? or at night when your body is naturally refueling (sleeping) thanks.

You should eat several smaller meals a day instead of one large meal. Your body can only process so many carbs and protein at once. Eating a large meal will likely turn to fat.
Postworkout meal should be the following:
Carbs: 0.6-1.0 grams per lean body weight (30-40% should be from fruit juice such as pineapple or grape juice or you can eat a banana. The rest of the carbs should be from Dextrose or Maltodrexin. For example: 200 lbs at 10% BF would be 180 lbs lean body mass. Take 180 x the ratio above to equal the amount of grams per carbs.
Protein: 0.6 grams per lean body weight
Glutamine: .44 grams per lean body weight
For night meals, drink a protein blend (isolate, caseine, egg) shake and maybe 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter. This is to fight catabolism of muscles at night.
Upon waking, drink protein shake.
You can have a protein shake in afternoon, but in between use tuna, chicken, salmon, fish, turkey, etc.

I say the best time to have one big meal is whenever your going to be most active for the next 6 hours after that meal.

Really never. Huge Meals especially when already bulking will lead to unnecessary fat-gains. Try to keep bulking very very clean, you'll be happier later.

Doesnt make much sense to me personally, unless you have a good metabolism or are running mild anabolic cycles you can only gain so much before you start packing on fat-rapidly.
Eating TONS at one sitting isnt going to realisitically do much except add body-fat.
