Eating every hour

Reason I say smaller meals is basically it allows u to eat specific meals throughoutvthe day.. certain foods as we all know give certain advantages in terms of insulin and growth hormone spikes .. u obviously can't time these meals if u only eat 2-3 times a day...
 
None of here would eat a large meal just an hour before a workout .. most would experience themselves slowking down about a fair bit and end up having a sluggish workout .. then end up taking such stims as jacked etc..

Depends on your caloric intake... If youre on a 4000 cal diet, good luck fitting that into 3 meals. Yes, its possible... but I'd rather slam 6 smaller meals (definitely not small). I personally go for 3 main meals and 3 snacks.

I don't think eating when hungry is a good attitude for any serious lifter. Depends what you want to achieve...

Waiting to be hungry is the last thing a person want's to do when trying to lose fat. The only thing I want to eat when I get really hungry is simple carbs, its what your body thinks it needs. If you plan your meals at set times it is less likely that you will over eat or eat the wrong food.

People should try eating 3 meals v 6-7 meals a day and not change anything else. By keeping everything constant you can see for yourself if it makes a difference or not. Measuring changes in terms of body composition is tricky unless people do body fat tests before and after.

Good luck Joel. Report your findings.

I spend a lot of my time hungry, pretty much 15 minutes after I finish eating I'll be hungry again. You just have to get used to being hungry. I agree with you though and as I stated you only need to arrange your meals so that you can eat the most or least depending on what your goals are. Only thing that I would change around is which meal is the biggest etc as you want most of your carbs and protein after training or mid afternoon if you're not training that day. I find that 3 or 4 meals is best for me. I have my meals normally at 1, 4, 7 and 10PM. I can't really eat a great deal in the morning so I will eat a lot in my 1pm and 7pm meals

As long as you get your protein down and stick to your total calories it doesn't really matter. It's what DC trainers do, they don't even count their calories

You should be eating every 2-3 hours anyway so you stay in a anabolic state.

So if you eat every 6 hours does that mean you are catabolic for the 2nd 1/2 of that period?
Wouldn't this cancel all gains made during the first 3 hour anabolic period?

4000 calories in 3 meals is pretty easy.
 
You can eat one meal a day and get decent gains. It takes a lot longer than 12 hours for protein to get from your stomach, broken down into AA's, enter your bloodstream and be utilised for muscle repair.

I think leangains touched this subject somewhere

Empirical evidence vs scientific data
Just because something works doesn't mean the reasoning behind it is correct
