    Eating only 4 times a day while bulking?

    With my schedule now its easier / more convenient for me to eat fewer, larger, meals than 6-7 small ones throughout the day. I am bulking right now with around 3500 calories ED. I'd like to split these meals up to a large breakfast, lunch, and dinner all consisting of around 1000 calories, plus a 500 calorie 'snack' before bed. All my meals are clean. Would this be sufficient considering I am bulking? Or am I way better off splitting these calories into smaller portions?

    Not in my opinion. You need to have pros/carbs/fats readily available throughout the day for muscles to grow. Feeding 3 times a day doesnt do that effectively imho....

    I would think you are better off by splitting because of the amount of protein ur putting into ur body( considering a bulking cycle prob like 300+ grams) so I think u would be pooping a lot of that ...
    What time do u workout...
    What time do u have to be in at work ?

    And what does diet look like?

    I'd always go with smaller portions, better for digesting

    Interesting, although eating only 4 meals a day, compared to 6 or 7, would slow down your metabolism which might be ideal for an all out bulk. That being said, I would still prefer 6 meals as I am no longer dirty bulking...I prefer a lean bulk these days.
