What's the best way to split cals through out the day?

[SoreArms]

What's the best way to split cals through out the day? It just doesn't seem that it's as simple as calories in Vs. calories out. I'm sure it would not be too good to eat half my days cals. in one sitting and then plit up the rest, right?

Should you eat more calories at certain times of the day?
Should they be relatively the same at all meals?
Should it be more/less pre and post WO?
Whats the best interval of time between meals?

1. Eat bigger meals in the morning/afternoon.

2. After the first couple of "bigger" meals, yes they should be about the same.

3. Not sure what you mean.

4. It differs, but 2-3 hours is a good bet.

i would say to eat small meals about every 3 hours to keep your metabolism going and to counter a catabolic state. Also try to eat carbs earlier in the day with the exception of PW. Also it would good to eat some slow digesting protein(cassein, cottage cheese) and a bit of fat before bed to get you through till the next day

Thanks guys.

What about P/F/C ratios in each meal? I know that there should always be more protein than fat or carbs. in every meal, but what ratios do you guys use?
How does this differ from meal to meal? In other words, are your ratios different in the morn., aft., night, pre/post WO, etc...

Thanks buds.

I eat 3 meals containing carbs pre workout.

then I have my post workout shake w/ simple sugars (carbs)

the 3 meals after that are fat and protein

total daily calroeis / 6 and that's me done

for each meal split protein carbs and fats accordingly

each meal get at least 25g protein
