It depends on your scheduel. If time permits, try out a 3 hour spacing, but no longer. 2-3 hours like everyone knows, is best. I like timing my meals ever 2.5 hours.

3 hours is optimal

why is 3 hours optimal, what happens if i do 2 hours

Gives you enough time to properly digest your food. I think you should eat when you feel hungry. If at two hours you are not hungry I would wait until the third hour.

what if im not hungry at 3? then i should forcefeed right...

so eat when im hungry between 2-3 hours if im ungry at 1 hour 30 min wait till 2 hours, if im not hungry at 3 eat anyway

is that good?

its a pain in the ass.. id say 4 huge meals, 2-3 small ones, a sack of nuts and some cheese and milk is a small meal to me

Sublime, it depends on how big and hard to digest your last meal was... there is really no difference between 2.5 and 3 hours, if you had small enough meals (as you should)... If you had a bomb, then you will need to wait up to 4 hours, since you will be piling new food on top of partially undigested food.

is a can of tuna and halfcup oatmeal considered a small meal?

 

[pintoca]

I think so, that shouldn't take much over 2.5 hours to leave your stomach towards greener pastures...

 

[K13]

I eat every hour

 

[gymratforlife]

I try to eat every 3 hours.

It all depends upon your last meal. My meal size isn't perfect - 450 cals per meal (or however large the meals) - mine fluctuate, but not too much. I'm more hungry more quickly after an apple and a carb bar than after eating basically the same amount of cals (maybe a bit more) of chicken and rice. My meals are spaced out like so:
4 am - pre-workout shake (925 cals)
6:30 am - post workout shake (400 cals)
9:30 - 10:00 am - 2/3 of Kong bar, 1 apple (400 cals +/-)
12:30 - 1 pm - lunch chicken, rice or something similar (500-600 cals)
3:30 - 4 pm - protein shake (w/water) and chicken breast (400 cals)
6:00 - 6:30 pm - dinner - chicken, fish, wheat pasta & veggies (500-600 cals)
I'm hungry about the times that I eat.
I think the biggest deal is to just start eating about every 2.5 to 3 hours (force feed, if necessary) and try to keep your meal sizes about the same. Once your body gets used to it, you'll find it's not that big of a deal.

From Personal Expierence:

I was eating every 2 Hours, Results were great
I starting moving it to 2.5 hrs and 3 hrs. Results MAYBE little better but maybe thats in my brain.

but i do feel ALOT hungrier at 3hrs compared the the every 2 hours. Anything in between those times should be fine. Only thing sucks when your on a suppresent for appetite and you HAVE to forcefeed yourself. BUT FUCK IT ITS LIFE!

why are u on an apetite surpressant?

if your on it and have to FORCE urself to eat why not just get off it so u are hungry when u eat?

Who cares if its a appetite suppressent? Im taking it to speed up Metabolism. Side affects are reduced apetite. But thats all in the BRAIN! lol. Eating isnt too hard for me even though i have to force myself to eat.

I seem to get AMAZING results from the ECY Stack im on so i really try to have a full stock. I usually use a whole bottle. Take 2 weeks off from anything and go back on. I can really feel the difference big time.

But the fat burning properties of the stack are very good. Just gotta make sure i hit all Calories for the day.
