when should most food be eaten?

ABmagic Posts: 56 Joined: 2004/05/22	2004/05/24, 09:40 PM Hey, I'm 17, 130 pounds, and am 5'11.5'' tall. I'm doing the nutrition plan to bulk up. they say I need to eat 2800 calories per day. what if it comes to dinner time and I haven't eaten near that much? should I stuff myself? When should most of my food consumption occur? Also, at what time should I stop eating? 7pm? 6pm? What do you think?? Thanks!

I think I have already answered your questions about when to stop eating in a different post - you should have a pre-bed meal, mostly protein and a little fat. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

Set a guide know what you've eaten and why- if you don't gain a pound in a fortnight then eat an extra 250 calories a day for another fortnight till the weight increase is slow but measurable.
