Organizing 5-6 Meals Per Day On MFP

Kalynx

I have my food diary organized by the time of day, instead of specif meals. What I use because it works for me:

before 11 AM
11AM-5PM
5PM-10PM
10PM-too late to be eating.

I found this more helpful and log as I go.

When I look back I know when I ate or just about when I ate something, in chronological order.

I usually eat first thing in the morning, then a little before noon, then mid-afternoon, then around 7pm, and sometimes add a snack at a random point if I'm hungry for it. I feel like I eat all day long. I log my meals on mpf as:
one
two
three
four
other

simply:

meal 2
meal 3
meal 4
meal 5

I organize mine with time frames. I tend to not eat unless it's in the time frame, so it keeps me on better track

8AM
11AM
1PM
3PM
6PM
9PM

I eat around these times, which is equal to breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack Time for breakfast now!!

I have mine set up as:
Breakfast
Snack 1
Lunch
Snack 2
Dinner
Beverages

I don't always have my snacks though

Mine is Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with a Snack column there for a piece of fruit and the milk I use in my tea and coffee.

Lunch
3pm
Dinner
9pm

That's how I do mine.

Off Topic thing the OP brought up ((keeps body in anabolic state and helps metabolism work throughout the day): No, that's a myth.

Anyway...

I keep mine as MFP arranged it and, although my snacks may come at any time of day, I just list them under snacks.

I changed mine to:
Breakfast (300-500 calories)
Snack (100-250 calories)
Lunch (300-450 calories)
Pre-Workout (<125 calories)
Post-Workout (300-350 calories)
Dinner (500-600 calories)

I think it'll help to assign a nutritious purpose for my 2nd and 3rd snacks to keep me eating the appropriate foods and prevent binging. And to reach my calorie goal (I'm trying to gain weight), I can just add to 'Snack' after dinner.
