Bodybuilding Meal Frequency: Is Eating Every 3 Hours Necessary?

The whole notion of eating every 3 hours and consuming "6 small meals a day" has been standard bodybuilding and fat loss advice for a very long time.

The idea behind this approach is that following a higher meal frequency with a larger number of meals a day will increase your overall rate of fat loss and improve muscle growth above and beyond eating a standard 3 or 4 meals a day.

Well, although this piece of advice has been circulating for a long time, recent research has essentially shown that the supposed need to eat every 2-3 hours simply isn't true. "6 meals a day" does not increase basal metabolic rate, and it does not improve protein synthesis in any measurable way.

The "eating every 3 hours myth" is basically just outdated advice at this point, and more and more trainees are finally coming around to realize that it just isn't a necessary approach.

Proper muscle building and fat burning nutrition is all about the big picture. In other words, just focus on meeting your overall calorie and macronutrient needs for the entire day as a whole, and don't worry about your specific meal frequency or meal timing.

How many meals per day is optimal for muscle growth and fat loss? It really just comes down to what you personally prefer and what fits best into your schedule. If that means 7 small meals a day, 5 medium meals or 3 larger meals, that's totally fine.

If eating every 3 hours is something you'd prefer, then go right ahead. However, if you'd rather space your meals out farther and would prefer a meal frequency of every 4-5 hours instead, that's totally fine as well and won't negatively impact your results.
