How many times a day do you eat?
I generally eat about 7 times per day.
I do count my two protein shakes as "eating"........ So, it looks like this:
Protein Coffee (shake)
Breakfast
Lunch
Pre work out snack - always greek yogurt and berries!
Post work out shake
Dinner
Snack
I usually keep it at 90 to 100 grms protein per day and 800 calories. Carbs usually work out to about 25 to 30.

I don't do "snacks." I do 5-6 small meals a day, with at least 15 grams of protein and aim for less than 150 calories per meal, except for my first meal, which is always a premier shake at 160 cals and 30 grams protein. I come in at about 750 calories and about 90-100 grams of protein 99% of the time.

I originally did six meal/snacks a day but dropped it to five after a couple of months as breakfast and lunch were close enough together and I didn't need the extra snack to get in the requisite protein. Now I'm back to six a day to get in enough calories (2000, give or take) to be stable.
