Questions Regarding Food Intake Frequency and Type

[Simon]

I am curious how a lot of you eat and your eating habits. I understand it varies based on personal goals and what an individual is trying to achieve. Please review and answer the following;

1. How often in a day do you eat, how many times?
2. What is the duration between eating times?
3. Do you use a protein powder supplement?
4. Do you eat any refined foods pastas, muffins or shredded cheeses or are you strictly all natural foods?
5. What is your current goal? i.e. are you competing, prepping, off season or just an everyday 9 to 5 spouse with a family and a career not related to the fitness industry, just trying to be better?
6. Are you cutting, bulking, recomp or maintenance?
7. If you could add some stats too such as age/height/weight, what you've been doing the last 2 to 4 months and how that has worked for you, some kind of context would be helpful.

I'm interested to see what is working for you and how.
Thanks.

[Mobster]

What you doping with the info?

 

[Topps_Baseball88]

I don't really have a window I typically get in 3 meals a day and a healthy snack or two and stick within my protein, fat, carb and calorie ranges. I know what I can and can't eat and what will hit my target goals or close to them daily. I might Have a small cheat meal once a week but that is only after a full week in the gym eating clean and hitting my goals. I also do fasted cardio and weight training I eat after the gym.

@Mobster I couldnt find any logs for the regulars Insee in the forums and I'm curious how you guys eat, train and do. It was just for my own insight.
