Eating 5-6 times in a day will help in getting bigger muscles etc... Power lifters eat alot...body builders are more finicky about eating..and they measure everything. You eat according to what you want...and how you lift. Eating those 5-6 meals in a day does not mean stuffing yourself 5-6 times a day...just eat throughout the day to keep hunger under control...and take in protein at every "meal"...Dennis
