Eat Often proposes meals at what interval?

• A. Every 1 hour
• B. Every 3 hours
• C. Every 2 hours
• D. Once per day

Answer: (B)

Eat Often aims to keep energy steady and nutrients available by distributing meals at regular intervals throughout the day. The interval of every 3 hours is chosen because it usually results in about five to six meals in a typical waking day, providing a steady supply of amino acids for muscle maintenance and recovery while helping control hunger without overloading digestion. Eating every hour is generally more frequent than needed and can be impractical or taxing on digestion. Every 2 hours is closer to the mark but tends to be more demanding than the standard guideline. Once per day leaves long gaps between meals, leading to energy dips and less consistent nutrient availability. So, the best fit for the Eat Often approach is every 3 hours.
