Well, personally, and MANY of my calories come from my protein shakes (simple milk + protein, sometimes peanut butter and EVOO,) my meals stick to closer to 5-6 a day because of time constraints… Mostly due to classes and an adherence to carb/food cutoff times to help keep my fat levels at bay.
Not only that, but with the kind of foods I eat (sausages, eggs, steak, etc.) I find it hard to balance the P+C/P+F combo without consuming a fair amount of calories.
That being said, I like getting as close to ‘full’ as possible with all of my meals. I never really get full, but if I just had small little bites to eat throughout the day, I’d practically just be teasing myself.
Theory goes that eatin more often than every 2-3 hours will just make yo pile food in your stomach. Your body can only diges so much at any given time. so eating mre than 6-7 times a day wont bring any more benefits (says the theory)
