6 Meals a Day Vs. Constant Grazing

Which is better? I tend to constantly eat throughout the day, would it be better to wait and do it exactly every 2 hours?

consantly eating is harder keep track of calories unless you sit down with a pen and notepad all day with every mouthfull of food you have, and it is easier to have too much so depending on what your goals are I cant answer your question properly

eating throughout the day i would think would be better. your body is consistanly gettin protein and carbs and consistantly digesting food. when im eating and drinking water throughout the day i am always hot and sometimes even sweat. I think its important to get in your bigger 6 meals but some protein snacks in between wouldnt hurt

it takes 3 hours for your body to digest food id say the first day of your diet eat something small every hour while your awake then after that go to six meals a day. if your bulking eating so often is even worse cuz your not allowing your body to digest the food it will just be constantly breaking it down

Well, my current eating pattern is like this:

I wake up eat some oats and go workout. I drink gatorade while I workout to keep the electrolytes in me. When I get home I prepare the food I eat throughout the day, while doing so I always have a protein shake with L-glutamien, and Flaxseed oil. The rest of the day I will usually munch on peanuts all day. I will have several larger eating sessions during the day where I will eat chicken breasts, or boiled eggs, can of tuna, cottage cheese. Im just making sure I hit 200g protein by the end of the day.

I also take multivitamin tablets in the morning and calcium chews.

So, is there anything that seems wrong with the way Im doing things?

God I hear that, i hate putting on dress blues when i'm like that 100% wool. Combine that with a thermogenic and you get wetness.
