    Some peeps eat every 2 hrs mate, i try and keep to 2.5 hrs, but i think the time line is eat every 2 to 3 hours as it keeps your nitrogen balance positive or something and i've read that a positive nitrogen balace is good for growth. I'm sure some of the veterans will be along to give you some good advice.

    Good luck with your goals.

    I dont think a healthy snack if your feeling peckish will hurt too much mate, just try and keep it healthy lol cause we all know how good some snacks taste but they full of crap nutrition.

    Blackster already gave you the best advice, bump it to every 2-2 1/2 or eat a tad more at each meal.

    Some will suggest to curb the carb intake in the evenings but seeing you are a powerlifter and seeking to gain 20lbs I would eat every 2-2 1/2 hours right up until bedtime.
