I used to do the 6-8 meals throughout the day. I've been much happier since I stopped it though. I have a decent size breakfast/lunch/dinner every day, about 600-700 calories each. If I need it, I'll have a snack in between meals sometimes, a banana, or cashews, or a piece of cheese.

I've been doing about 2200 cal on off days, and 2600 on lifting days since the start of the year. I'm down 15lbs, but I've kind of stalled out the last couple of weeks. So it's time for me to rethink things.

Whatever you do, don't just jump in to something new in an instant. Take some time to understand what you're doing now, what you're eating, and your activity level. That way, when you try something new, you can look back in a couple months and compare. It'll be easier to determine what was helpful, or what was harmful.
