I have been trying this for this week and frankly it is hard to eat every 4 hours, as it doesn't fit the daily timetable. I'll be setting an alarm now as GG suggests.

Question for anyone who has used this eating pattern while exercising, what is the effect of using an energy drink / energy gels / cereal bard while exercising? Riding my bike I will be taking on calories in my drink and using energy gels to boost my blood sugar before a big climb for instance. I'll also take on cereal bars for more slow release energy to keep me going. If the ride is more than 3 hours, there will be a cafe stop so the 4 hour meal rule will be honoured. TIA.
