Friday I hit a lower workout - squats, deadlifts, and training towards a pistol. The workout consisted largely of triples, leaving me too tired to do upper work at the end.
Saturday I made the mistake of pushing my workout to 5pm, after a full day. Despite the 10 hours of sleep I got Friday night, and the nap I took in the afternoon, my energy just wasn't there. The session consisted of kettlebell snatches, presses, and a little bending. I need to train early on weekends.
It is looking like 5 meals a day is more realistic than 6. I failed to account for eating time lost to training.

Hey Scott: I've tried to do "grazing" and extra meal methods - sometimes with poor results if I go more than a couple days . What I discovered is - like the rest of the body, the digestive system needs periods of recovery during the day to function properly.

I seem to be the opposite of Steve. Once I get on an eating schedule, whether it's 3 times a day or 9, it's hard for me to change. Even if I change what I am consuming, my body seems to learn the schedule quickly and doesn't want to unlearn it unless I have a different schedule I'm working on.
I'm learning right now that the macro nutrient quantities in your diet will do a lot to help you modify your schedule.

It seems like some days I am able to space the meals out. On others, time is requiring me to combine them. At least I am eating more variety than frozen pizza and mixed nuts.
