I bring 8 meals a day to work, I eat one at 04:00 am to start ,, but depending on how busy I am, I may eat 5 or 6 of them...sometimes less.. for me I have to accept it and move on..

does it affect my workout.. not for me personally.. I'm now 5'7" at 180, up 5 lbs and keeping my 32 waist line..

busy full time worker,, father of 2 kids and i work 12 hour shift with a 50 min. ride home.

Always get the apropriate meals in. The only time it gets a little waked is on the weekend because I am on my daughters schedual. Has not effected my gains. Lets just say I am not close to competiotion ready though. haha

i try to get in 5-7 meals a day

even when at school...i will have tuna in a tupaware and eat it during class..i did that most of last year and teachers bitched nonstop..but oh well..getting meals in to me are very important.

i would also have a shaker or 2 ready with some whey protein in there incase i get hungry in other classes...and i always was loaded with granola bars lol.

so yes meals are very important to me =]

every 2 and a half to 3 hours I eat again... most of the time just forcing food down

without fail, i get in about 8 meals atleast, plus 3 servings of whey. i try to make it 13 meals a day on a bulk, which is normally NOT a problem...on a cut i have 8 small, with NO carbs, very high protein meals, plus 3 servings of whey a day...

i usually have 4 or 5 meals a day plus the weight gainers which have 630 calories per shake. so if you guys count those as meals, i usually have 8-10 meals a day.

Wow, I'm the one who eats 3 meals a day. But I have A LOT of meat (don't even say it lol). I'm basically a strict carnivore.
Random Comment: Say someone's mom's (it works on an abundance of people: gf, sister, mom, or even grandma (if you're into that kind of thing)) a carnivore, because she only eats your meat.
