This is, I'm afraid, rubbish. Horses are herbivores and bears are carnivores so they have different diets/digestive systems because their evolutionary niches are totally different. That's what accounts for their different anatomy, not their eating habits.

If its rubbish then consider this. Humans. Why are there so many that workout do NOT eat healthy and have less than stellar physiques to those that workout and DO eat healthy?! Now compare BOTH to those that just eat for the sake of eating, boredom, and likely because their stomach's are just too big for their eyes?? Now we're comparing those with the SAME digestive systems and carnivores by nature (Frank Zane was a vegetarian by choice and he did well). Ignoring the minority with digestive disorders there are MANY people that are sickeningly fat and just eat horribly with absolutely NO exercise. What I stated was not rubbish - there are many herbivores that are no where close to being as muscular and are related in digestive systems/diets to the horse or VERY similar. Fact is you eat smaller meals and more times a day you're forcing your working digestive system to digest food faster and more easily than bloating your gut.

There's no scientific evidence that eating multiple small meals per day has any beneficial effect on your metabolism.

You guys are so awesome! Thank you so much for all of your guidance and ideas! You guys really are a great community! But, where is a good place to find natural peanut butter and things like that? Any specific place, or am I just not looking hard enough?

Like I said before. You guys are awesome

Talk to a doctor--a licensed practicing physician who specializes in medical care, don't trust the internet, or your coaches for the advice, you may be at optimal health for a growing boy and could screw it up by taking some quacks advice.
