A member asked:

Is it okay to eat a 300 calorie meal every two hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Assuming: A 12 hour day, that would give you 3600 calories, the calorie intake of a stevedore. Unless you are a full time athlete it is too much and i would expect you to gain weight, depending on the quality of the food.
