Ok, I know what most of you do on this board: eat every few hours. I've been seeing some posts on other boards stating that frequency isn't important. Its important to get your pre/post workout meals in but other than that it doesn't matter if you eat every 3,4,or 6 hours. What are your thoughts on this? I know sometimes i eat 6 and sometimes i eat 3 and i haven't noticed any difference in my physique or energy level. I know that eating frequently started with bodybuilders getting their calories in since they had to eat so many cals a day. If someone is eating low cal anyway, whats the point of eating so frequently? If a woman eats 1500cals per day what difference would it be if she eats 3 500 cals or 6 at 250cals?
