Not long after I first started my diet of eating every three hours, I nearly gave up because it seemed most of my time was spent cooking for the next meal. In order to successfully maintain such a diet I needed to look past the next meal and start thinking ahead to the coming days.
When eating every three hours there is always another meal around the corner, so it makes sense to minimize the amount of time spent in the kitchen. Get in the habit of cooking several days worth of food at one time whenever possible.

When eating a healthy balanced meal every three hours, you will be consuming a lot of food. Depending on if you’ll be eating five or six meals a day, you are looking between 35 and 42 meals a week. That is a lot of groceries.
Unless you enjoy going to the grocery store every other day, I highly recommend buying your food in bulk whenever possible. When consuming mostly natural foods, this gets a little difficult since most natural food will not stay fresh for long.

Now that you are armed with the knowledge of about how many calories you require and how to keep a food log, it’s now time to plan the meals you will be eating each day.
This step is crucial, and perhaps the most difficult, to your success in eating every three hours. It is very easy to eat too many calories when eating five or six meals a day; as such, you must plan your meals before you start eating. It does not make sense to figure out how many calories you consumed after the fact. Make the decision of what you are going to eat throughout the day in advance.
