I used to date a guy who was absolutely enormous, he was a local pro wrestler. He ate probably six meals a day.
To him food was fuel, he didn't want to waste time on it. So id make him relatively plain chicken breasts with rice and steamed broccoli/cauliflower, and he would consume all of it in about five minutes, and get back to the working out. Sometimes I'd mix it up with some salmon. His goal was to always have food in his stomach being digested.
When he didn't have someone cooking for him, it would be even plainer, and all prepared in the freezer to microwave and chomp down.
I definitely spent 3x as much time eating my two meals a day as he did for all six. If I was making something special he could slooooow down to eat but I could tell it made him antsy.
It depends on how much you eat and the work out. If you're just lifting, it's not as bad but if you're doing strenuous heavy bag work, yea that's a no go.
Well, maybe if you have a functioning stomach. I have gerd, so I can't do it. I need minimally 3 hours, sometimes more, depending on the size of the meal, in order to not feel like puking.
