How many meals..?

[yeaaahBEE 29]

How many meals are suppose to have in a day?

I've been trying to get to 90g of Protein but I usually get about half or a little more. I usually do premiere Protein or triple zero yogurt for Breakfast, the tuna creations packet for lunch, and one of my ricotta bake recipes for dinner.

Is it too much/not enough? I've been working out almost daily and wondering if this is effecting me as well.

My plan is for 5-6 meals a day (3 hours in between). I would say you're not eating enough.

My plan during weight loss mode called for 3 small meals per day, supplemented by Protein Shakes (no other snacks) to meet my Protein goals.

I eat 5 or 6 times a day to get my Protein in.

you might want to try eating Protein at your 3 meals, and having a couple Protein shakes in between. mid morning and mid afternoon.

What does the nutritionist at your program say?

3 meals a day high in Protein. I guess my problem is Breakfast, I tried scrambled eggs a while back and it didn't sit well with me. Hard boiled eggs didn't bother me as much

you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. I don't, well I do rarely because it doesn't have enough Protein.

Why not have a piece of fish, shrimp, grilled chicken, turkey etc for breakfast.

I try to make sure I am eating at least 15 grams to 20 grams of Protein per meal

Fish is a good way to get your protein in early on because it is soft and easy to digest.

My plan is to hit 50-60g of Protein a day. I just plan around that, not thinking too hard about amount of food or number of meals. I try to keep my food choices as calorie to Protein efficient as possible, but sometimes I'll have some Peanut Butter or cashews that are a little higher in calories.

I was instructed to try and stick to regular meal times as a way to build good habits, and avoid grazing behavior.

It depends on your plan. Talk to your nutritionist.

It seems like most people prefer to have several small meals
