Andy what are you trying to do with the 5 to 6 meals a day gain mass??,lose weight and get ripped? Just wondering because depending on the food you eat and how often has different effects on the body and weight loss etc. Like for example.. Foods have a thermic effect ranging from 3% to 30%. Protein foods create a thermic effect of up to 30%. This means that 30% of the calories from foods like turkey, tuna, and salmon are burned simply by digesting them. Complex and fibrous carbohydrates burn about 20% of their calories through digestion. This includes broccoli, spinach, corn, green beans, etc.
On the other end of the spectrum are fats and refined carbohydrates. They have an extremeley low thermic effect of about 3%. This is one of the reasons that dietary fat is stored so easily as body fat. so you see, what you eat matters even more than how much you eat..
Recognize that life is in constant motion and every change happens for a reason.When you see boundries as opportunities,the world becomes a limitless place.
