When do you eat the bulk of your calories? I purposly eat light all day so i can eat dinner with my family. Is this okay?

    Doesn't matter whether you are eating three meals or six meals as long as you get your proper calories and nutrients in.

    Actually studies prove that eating six times a day increases your metabolism. And it is a requirement when you lift heavy to make sure you get adequate protein in your system.

    If it fits into your calories you can do whatever. Me, my biggest meals tend to be breakfast and dinner.

    Dinner is always biggest. Your body doesn't care what time you eat, it only cares what and how much you eat.
