When you made the switch from 3 square meals a day?

[heavy_duty]

I need to hear some real world experiences from people about when they decided to eat 6-8 times a day on a very consistent basis.

what really happend to your body that made you KNOW this was THE WAY for you from that point on?

while many who know preach the 6 meals a day, the "full of shitters" also preach it.

Thanks

When i was a teenager i did so.
I was a natural bodybuilder back then.

Now i only do more than 3 meals during a bulking cycle.

...about 3 or 4 years ago... im pretty consistent... a realy bad day im still getting in 4 meals...
...now with making my meals larger... (in the last year) more nutritious.. and eating lots of beef... that has taken it up a couple notches... and cutting out soda and replacing with water made a huge difference as well...

I changed mine about 10yrs ago and it only took a few weeks for me to see this was the right way for me. I eat 10 times a day and have been for the last 2 yrs!!! It takes me more time to plan my diet than my cycles!!

i eat 6-7x a day. been 2 years now. what made me know was the fact that I saw the most changes in my body during this 2 years than ever b4. i was working out and eating 3 meals a day and not really tracking what i was eating. once i began using fitday and really paying attention and eating every 2-3 hours, the transformation was really plain to see. give it a try for 12 weeks. you'll be impressed.

I agree with gettinripped...nutrition plays a big role in making quality gains in the gym. I eat 6 meals a day and pay real close attention to pre and post workout meals. I think these are really important in giving energy during the workout and helping recover after a workout. Eating a lot of beef/red meat (2lbs a day) has also helped me put on bunch of muscle and increased power. I won't ever go below 4 meals a day.

it was the best way to get my metabolism going, and i still continue this 5 years later...

One of the biggest and best things that I noticed was that my body temp stayed elevated more often while digesting the food...That is a good thing in the winter, and better for fat loss while cutting.

Also, I felt less tired...mainly because I would gorge on food during my 3 squares and feel like shit, then when it would digest, I was hungry while waiting for the next meal, I felt more lethargic.

Lastly, it is a lot easier to get the protien amount that I want with 6 meals than with 3.

It wasn't so much just changing to six meals but making the switch to healthy, whole foods and sensible macros as well. Getting everything working together is what triggered a good metabolic response and staying that way just increases the efficiency of the machine.
I'd have to say one other difference is I just can't eat as much at one sitting as I used to. Decimating buffets and inhaling pizzas are a thing of the past. It's way easier to stay relatively clean.
