Some do 3 big meals others do 6 smaller ones Did meal frequency make a difference for your energy, digestion or gains

I do 4 meals a day and it works well for me Energy stays steady digestion is fine and I still hit my protein goals

I used to eat 6 smaller meals, but switching to 3 bigger meals didn’t hurt gains and actually made cooking easier

total calories and protein matter way more than frequency I just pick what fits my schedule

I stick to 5 meals 3 main meals and 2 snacks It helps me stay full and keeps energy up for training

I’ve tried both and the main difference was digestion Smaller meals felt lighter but bigger meals saved me time Gains were about the same

I eat 3 meals plus a post workout shake Muscle growth hasn’t suffered and I enjoy fewer cooking sessions

Meal frequency doesn’t really change gains but spreading protein across 3–5 meals helps me hit the targets easier

I go by convenience On busy days 3 meals + shake works On off-days 5 smaller meals feel better Results are similar either way
