Great post Zed. Some good info in there. Starting with 4-5 meals for someone who is not used to eating like that is probably a good idea. Or you can force feed yourself like I do by the clock. Lol Good luck Jen.

Thanks OWL...so how many times a day do you eat? Benefits to eating so much during the day?

7 total maam. There are different theories on this but I will explain the best I can. I am currently bulking so to get in enough calories to reach 6000 is very difficult to do especially with food being the main resource. Shakes are great but they are no way as anabolic as real food. I limit my shake count per day to two usually. However even when I am cutting I still eat the same number of times a day I just use much smaller portions. The mindset behind eating so many times a day is that it keeps your metabolism constantly working therefore placing the body in a more thermogenic state. There have been some pros now that are rasing the idea of doing this with 4-5 meals a day but I stick with what works for me. Does that make sense? Lol

Agree with OWL on the benefits of his style of dieting. To get more then 5000 cals per day in you just have to eat 6,7 and even 8 times per day. Eating at this point becomes a job and it really is hard to get that amount of cals down your throat.

Cutie what you said is interesting. I did not know that but I will def look for more reading mtl on it.

Very welcome as always sweettea!

I agree....especially for bulking and trying to get that much food in. You have to make eating your job almost. I'm very similar to OWL in that I seldom use shakes. If I needed 3000 calories, I'd be supplementing a bit but always try to choose real food.

I have experimented with different diet types, including intermittant fasting, and for me, somewhere between 4-6 meals for cutting seems to be ideal. That's where I see my best results and am able to be more consistent too.

Jenn...you'll get there. As you try different things and see the different results, you'll find what works best for you.
