Meal timing and frequency. How important truly is it?

[b-boy]

WTF?? this thread

 

[aHarness]

LOL

I’m just here to learn how I can get the calories from a food without absorbing it bro

 

[aHarness]

So explain to me use that compete why we split meals.and not just eat everything we need per day in just one sitting. Why we go through the trouble of going out with our food in toperware

To elevate and spike MPS, keep a steady flow of amino acids, improve training performance by adequately fueling yourself with nutrients around the session, and because no one wants to eat over 1500g+ of raw chicken in one sitting plus all their rice. That’d absolutely fuck your digestion and leave you insanely bloated. Also people get hungry? Lol

I can say the best gains i ever had was when i literally ate everything in sight non-stop. Now i did eat home cooked meals and not junk, but man i went through a gallon of Blue Bell pretty much every weekend. Each time i was hungry i ate, and after a few years i got over 270 and was stronger than ever. Had my gear on point and slept 7-8 hours a night. But damn i got hangry if i didn't eat every 3-4 hours.

Correct bro your Correct good answer. But how can people here say then that you can have your micro in one meal that its the same thing if you split it or not. That's what makes no sense to me

 

[pimpman]

No I want to hear the whole explanation of how you can get all the calories from a food but you’re not absorbing it

No I'm saying if you eat 5000,6000 calories in one meal how is that the same as splitting it
You would be super bloaded

This thread is all over the place with everybody arguing like a handful or more of issues.

Most of the studies show there are no differences between 2-4-6 meals per day when calories and macros are the same. However, there are a few things i'd point out. 1) If using insulin, you would probably want more than a 1-2 meals per day. 2) When your caloric demands are 3-5000 calories per day or more, good luck trying to get that amount in 1-2 meals, especially protein. Martin Bekhan used to do it years back and he looked great for a natty guy, as did many others, but there is a catch to this as well that many people dismiss, and one that Lyle McDonald always brings up. Research shows that small meals still take most of the day to digest and absorb. The larger the meal, the longer it takes to digest and absorb, but it will do the job. However, if you are slamming super large amou t of calories (protein especially) between 1-2 meals, by time it gets done digesting, there is really not that much of a difference in the fasting part compared to an approach of 4-6 smaller meals. If a smaller meal is still taking 8+ hours to absorb, then a MUCH larger one will take even longer, thus it's not really much of a fast if any by time it finally gets absorbed. I'm not a hater on 1-2 meals vs 4-7 meals per day, do what works, they are fairly much the same, give or take a small amount of differences and given enough time. However, if my caloric needs were high, and i was trying to put on more muscle, i'd much rather break down 4-6000 calories into 4-6 meals than 1-2 meals. I'm speaking in relation to a bodybuilder wanting to gain size, not somebody just wanting to look good.

Many studies on sleep show that below 6-7 hours per night for extended periods really do a number on health...appetite, digestion, performance, health, immune system, etc. This is not going to be an exact number, some people can get away with a little less and some need a little more. A night here and there isn't going to matter, but long-term is probably not good. You can 'get by' and still meet goals, but it's probably not setting yourself in an optimal environment. AAS and PED's will help, but there are too many accounts of guys who get a good night in after not sleeping well and their digestion, performance, recovery and clarity etc instantly improves. If i had my way, i'd shoot for 7-9 hours and not 4-6 and just get by....does that happen for me all the time, nope. However, I always feel so much better with a little more.

Lol that’s absolutely not what you were saying. You quite literally said it wouldn’t be absorbed. Don’t backtrack and make yourself look silly. Just own up if you realize you’re wrong it’s not a big deal man

I not backing up on any I still stand on the fact that if you eat 6000 calories X amount of fat and protein in one meal your body ain't goings to use all of it .it's way too much for the body to tolerate and process at once
if you all want to think differently go ahead.show actually study that tells you your body can process all that amount of food in one meal instead of bro talk

 

[Biggerp73]

I haven't eaten more than 4 meals a day since I was an obsessed teen eating 30g of protein every 3 hours and avoiding toothpaste because of the carbs

A lot of days I only get 3 meals, and one of those is a protein shake with three heaping scoops of a casein blend

I'm 290 and never been bigger

I'm sure your a husky 290 lol.. but I will still give you a because I'm similar to that

So what does the body with it? Somehow the energy just vanishes? You need a study to prove physics?

You ain't as husky as me

I hope not

What energy bro.yea I do want to see a study regardless of physics

 

[Hyperemia]

What energy bro

Calories = Energy



Carry on.

 

[pimpman]

Calories = Energy



Carry on.

Yea I know but the conversation isn't about energy it's about absorption

What happens to the energy calories you don’t “absorb”?
