How much calories do you guys/gals consume most at one sitting of a regular meal?
For me it's usually around 300-400 kcal at most... How about you guys/gals?

I do 300 cals/meal (give or take, but that's what I shoot for).

I used to start by roughly dividing my daily total by five or six, then I skew the numbers towards the first half of the day. Breakfast is usually 500 then it tapers off.

However, since introducing a pwo shake of whey, maltodextrin and dextrose, calories in the evening have gone up.

Ditto - between 250 and 300 per meal.

I used to do ~300 cals per meal with the breakfast being a little more. Ever since I changed to taking whey+skim milk first thing in the morning and working out 1 hr after that, it kinda threw me off balance... now my PWO, lunch and dinner are the biggest items (lunch can be as high as 700)

Dinner, I easily get about 800-900 calories on average.

I do this...

first meal (breakfast) = 600 cals.
last meal (cottage cheese) = 100 cals.
remaining meals, 5.

<daily total> - 700 / 5 = ???

now it is 260 cals per meal.

Well, I never count calories, but I eat healthy (as I can) Monday - Thursday. The weekends I order out, eat out, etc and meals quickly, and often, are around 1500-2000 calories. :eat:
