How often do you eat? I know that when I was lifting a lot of weights a few years back I tried to eat every 2 hours, actually it was a bit of a race to see how many meals a day I could eat.
I am a little more responsible now ass far as eating is concerned. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and then stuff snacks between each meal and then have an evening snack.

The best way to size up your meals is to look at what you would eat in your three meals and then split all of that food up into six meals. These meals may seem small but in fact you are eating more often so your body will not be as hungry as you start the next meal.
