How many times a day should I eat? I understand the concept behind how much protein is needed for each kg of lean muscle mass, but how many meals do you need to break this amount of protein into for it to be optimal?
I'm getting conflicting information about this on other sites, some say you need to break this protein down into smaller meals, some say one meal will do and it'll "stay in your gut until it's ready to be absorbed." I believe the former part of this to be true, as I once worked with a guy who went to school to be a personal trainer and he ate once every three or four hours and he was built well. Really seemed to know his stuff too. Unfortunately I no longer work with him and didn't stay in contact, else I'd be asking him for advice on this subject lol.
Can someone here advise me on how to go about eating? I'm not doing any extreme workouts at the gym yet, but when I do my home workouts I tend to feel sore for many days on end afterwards.
About me: 34 y/o male, 165lbs, I'd consider myself 'skinny fat' I'm not working out in the gym, I'm doing home exercises using the perfect pushup device and an ab wheel. I tend to only eat once per day, but I can eat more if necessary. My diet consists of mostly rice and chicken, has been for many years now.
