Not knowing any of your stats - weight, age, height, activity level - I can't give you a figure of how many calories a day you should be consuming to maintain your current weight. But to answer your question - at least as how I read what you're asking - your total caloric intake should be broken down in the range of 50% quality carbs, 40% protein and 10% good fats (EFA's - essential fatty acids). This is a balance that the majority of mainline dietitians and fitness consultants would recommend. And yes, eating 4 or 5 smaller meals a day instead of the 3 square meals standard is a lot wiser. There is a far less tendency to overeat. Make certain you start the day with a powerhouse breakfast. Take on enough fuel for the day at this meal and you will be less hungry throughout the day.
