hii guys! it feels good to be back.. i had lost most of the extra fat i had some 3 months ago so i am feeling good inside but i got an issue here.. okay i eat each 3hrs of the day starting at 9am.. sometimes i fall back asleep until 12pm and so time i wake up, put something on, get my 12pm meal ready it's 12:30ish soooo is this bad to be half an hour behind one meal ? how bad is it really ? it doesnt happen every day but more every other days i guess..

I think you're ok

no, it won't kill you. The point of eating every 2-3 hours is to keep your metabolism up and hopefully not wanting to "snack."

sometimes I do eat every hour.

I personally freak out if I havent eaten in over 3 hours...

I stick with every 2hrs so if something comes up then the worst that'll happen is it'll push my meal back to 2.5-3hrs.. After 3hrs, get the hell out of my way I'm gonna eat something or kill someone.

Yea..I've been known to panic and do whatever it takes. I've walked to a wendys and got 3 plain grilled chiken sammiches and just ate the chiken and sum cheese..and go 2 gas stations..eat like 3 protein bars and ask if they have natty pb

Don't worry about always eating every 2 hours. Really. There is nothing wrong with skipping a meal from time to time. In fact, it's a good thing to occasionally miss a meal. Our bodies are super smart and highly adaptive.

Moreover, when you eat every two hrs on the clock....you never experience hunger, a powerful trigger of gene expression that turns on DNA repair and heat shock proteins. So, your maintenance program is seldom activated.

Instead, vary your metabolic state from time to time. It will do your body more good than harm. I'm telling ya.

I shoot for the 2hr mark, being that we live in a busy society and life seems to get in the way of our Hobbies lol.. my meals usually vary from every 2 hrs to 3-4hrs at times.. Just depends on what's happening around me, but yes I agree with varying times and skipping meals on occasion during the week, it really does speed the metabolism and keeps the body from adapting to your program.

awome so okay i'll never worry again over being late or skipping one meal.. damn this forum is GOOD!

I'm eating 9 meals per day now (bulking)

I better be eating at least every 2 hours (sometimes every hour)

**stayinstacked** · 09-20-2006, 12:36 PM

IMO people get too carried away w/ this shit. There have been days where it's every 4 for me, sometimes it's 5hrs, and sometimes it might be every 2hrs. You dont HAVE TO get 6-7 meals in a day either, there are plenty of guys out there who only eat 4 or 5 times/day and look phenomenal. I think it's good to do once in awhile. Also, think of this, if your eating every 2 hrs during your bulking season then your body may not have a chance to burn anything because you havent let the food already in you go to work. May be able to bulk leaner by not over eating so much and switching it up.
