i was just curious! . do you have to eat at the same times everyday for succesful gains ? . . or can you just eat the same amount of calories at diff times everyday or around the same time .

i personally try to eat all the time unless sleeping... it is better for your body if you eat every two hours or so. but i dont think there would be much difference in having breakfast at 6 one morning and at nine the next. as long as you still take in the same amount.

[FreakofNature23]

alright the same thing with me . i just eat every 2 hours as soon as i wake up .. whenever that time is ...i read somewhere that you had to eat at the same times every single day for gains . some days i like to sleep in lol.

[Charger527]

yeah same. if your awake for aprox 16 hours then you have 8 meals i dont think it matters what times those 16 hours fall onto.

[FreakofNature23]

thats what i thought , i read differently somewhere on the net.

yes your body does like to eat at the same time daily to have homeostasis

[Flex-Appeal]

some will say it does not matter as long as you split up around 6 meals/daily

Homeostasis is controlled by the HPTA not food.

OK...i stand corrected. (unless i find info to state otherwise)

[FreakofNature23]

so it doesnt matter what time i wake up during the day , just as long as i get the calories i need ?

Basically yes, if your sleeping for 8 hrs that leaves 16 hrs to eat, it doesn't matter what time you get up, i used to do shift work years ago so things were changing EW, just get the cals in at regular intervals to keep those muscles fed.
