Hello again guys,
I'm trying to bulk up and was wondering if it okay to eat more than 3 meals per day as long they're 2 hours apart?
I would just try protein shakes but they don't agree with me...
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys might have.
 
Should be fine but you might have to inject more insulin depending on the food and your reaction to it. The trouble is with taking on board more insulin is the Insulin Stacking Effect, whereby your injecting insulin when the previous dose is still active which makes bg control less predictable, you may find you can get away with eating cheeses, hams and nuts between meals (without taking insulin) so it's worth trying before looking for alternative foods.
