[QUOTE=Praetorian;450088] If you truly want to optimize muscle gain or muscle maintenance the yes you do need to eat at least every three hours...why...because the body does not store protein like it can store carbs(glycogen) or fat. So to build muscle or maintain it requires a supply of amino acids..ie protein.

If only I had known this last year... Thanks Prae, sorry I should stop using the term bulk now I guess. What I mean is that I will uptake my calories to where I am about 12% bodyfat or less next time. Thank you very much, I know better now!
