Between 4-6 smaller but nutrition packed meals plus a protein shake post workout. Remember food is the ultimate source of energy and cause of growth. Don't skip out!

    Nothing magical about 4-6 meals, lol.
    But I do agree with your point about eating food!

    Don't have 5-6 meals personally but agree food is the key to any success, screw that up and you may as well not bother in the first place

    I don't like small meals. 3 big meals is just the same....

    How ever you can get it all in, I know a lot of folks who break it up in the 4 to 6 range, but not too many who can get it all in with just 3 meals.

    I'd have to agree on the nutrient dense part though. If you are not eating calorie dense foods like pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, donuts, etc... it's much harder to get it all in. Chicken, green beans and a sweet potatoes are much harder to get 800 - 1000 cals per setting for most.

    So I'd say the statement he made is just. Eating "clean" is typically done with more meals involved. Mainly because it's hard to stomach the amount of food you have to eat with out all the good stuff (pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, candy, etc).

    I'm a 3 big meal a day person but I do protein shake and jelly beans preworkout because my lunch is 5 hours before and I am hungry.
