I used to be obsessive about it, couldn't care less what others think, I'd bring the dreaded tupperware everywhere, but I'm like that in anything I do, I get obsessive. Then gradually I turned to 3 meals and lots of snacks in between, but that was not the solution either. I'm currently eating along the lines of leangains and it has never been better. No bloat, no lethargy, can not bother myself with thoughts about food, oh, and body composition is better.
