This clearly comes from someone with little bodybuilding diet experience....
Lets break your post apart, shall we...
RE: Eating 6-10 times daily
While its not necessary (there's been some challenges to this theory of late), it is indeed recommended... The idea is to split your "3 square meals" into smaller portions and eat them on regular intervals, thus constantly providing your body with nutrients so that nothing (or very little) needs to be stored... ie. fat
RE: Steroid comments
As mentioned by adz, if you're not in a position to comment then don't, it just makes you look very silly...
As far as changes in diet go, there really isn't much difference in how someone should structure their diet regardless being natty or 'helped', if anything, there's slightly more volume, but in terms of macros and timing they should be very similar...
RE: 2g per pound bodyweight
I don't think its completely necessary, its the upper end of the scale IMO, something like 3g per Kg bodyweight is much better... Thats not to say the the 2g per pound isn't do-able...
Lets say a 170pound (~78Kg) Guy reasonably muscular and trying to gain... Thats 340g Protien (1360 cals), now i can't see you logic about not having enough room for carbs and fats, there's probably around 2000-2500 cals to play with there....
Today I will do what you won't so Tomorrow I can do what you can't!
