I've heard this get passed around as ideal in order to grow. The main reason people throw out is that it will keep a positive nitrogen balance, and stop you from going catabolic. Is it true that you need to have protein every 3-4 hours at least? What if you had protein in one meal, then again eight hours later (aside from trace amounts in almonds, oats, and rice)?
If total calories in vs. total calories out is the big issue, then this shouldn't matter - but then why do people bitch about going catabolic when protein isn't constantly ingested?
