Jame: Is it really necessary to eat every 2-3 hours?

Directed to Jamie Alderton.
Is it really necessary to eat every 2-3 hours? Bodybuilders/athletes are often talking about eating this frequently, saying that it keeps sugar levels constant & that you need to eat this frequently for amino acids intake.

Hi Andy,

Different things work for different people and I can only say what works for me. Each time you consume a meal, your metabolic rate rises as your body processes the food. The more meals you eat daily, the higher your total metabolic rate. This method of eating also provides your body with an influx of energy and nutrients, helping to keep your body chemistry stabilized until the next meal so that it doesn’t tear down muscle mass to produce needed nutrients.

Hope this helps
