Mak, X, vets... any benefit to calorie taper throughout the day?

[Vascular Freak]

I always train in the am after meal 1. Meal 2 is my PWO meal. Is it a good idea to have higher amounts of protein at meals 1,2, and 3 then slowly start to taper down meals 4,5,6,7, and 8??? Meals 4-8 I have been eating about 2 hours apart @ 40grams protein per meal. I cut carbs out after meal 5 and stick stick to just meat, cottage cheese and veggies with efas at the end of the day.

My MAIN ?? is should I eat more meals 3 and 4 and less later in the day?

Please give some advice on my lean mass diet (stats, 24, 175lbs, 6-7% bf, cycle of test e 500mg, primo 1 gram ew, eq 500 mg, 75mg proviron ed, 2 pumps aifm, week 8 of 14, 5th cycle)

Meal 1 5oz chicken, 6 ewhites, 8 oz sweet pot, 1/2 cup broccolli
wait 2 hours then train
Meal 2 PW 40 grams whey, 6 ewhites, 3/4 cup oats (eaten in the locker room)
Meal 3,4, 4oz boiled chicken, 10 grams whey, 1/2 cup raw oats, broccolli
Meal 5 5 oz chicken, 6 egg whites, romaine salad
30 minutes of cardio
Meal 6 20 grams whey
Meal 7 7 oz chicken, cabbage stir-fry, 1 TBSP olive oil
Meal 8 before bed 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 scoop whey, 1 serving peanuts

I also get up every three hours in the middle of the night and eat 25 grams of protein, either chicken, cottage cheese and whey.

Personally I think your micromanaging.

Your 175lbs. MAYBE if you were 300lbs trying to put on some more LBM it could be useful.

IMHO waking up to eat while you should be sleeping and recovering is not optimal. Sleeping for a few hours waking up to eat then train eat then sleep again... now that may be beneficial.

I'm no vet, but no one responded to you. Those are my thoughts.

Thanks for the reply bro, everyones advice is much wanted. I normally wake up to take a leak and am hungry so I have a little protein which allows me to sleep better.

no one around?

well, eating in between your sleep sessions is certainly a great way to avoid catabolism..but its also a shitty way to interrupt your much needed rest.

im really not sure which outweighs the other, but I think your body would be much better off just sleeping the 8 hours straight through..

I agree - if you were realy hardcore competition prepping maybe do the wake up all nite thing, but you can just set your final meal to be protein + fat or a slow-digesting protein (casein). Its hard enough for me to fall asleep that if I had to wake up every 3 hrs, I'd either never fall asleeep waiting for the 3 hr alarm to go off or never fall asleep after the feeding.

Otherwise when I set my diet, I follow the idea that the female body can metabolize about 35 g of protein in one "sitting" -i.e. every 2-3 hrs. I'm sure there are different schools of thought on that but I've used that number with a couple completely independent trainers so I use it as my guide. Then I eat about 30 g carb per sitting or 2 tbsp equivalent of fats w/ each meal.
