Meal timing and frequency. How important truly is it?

[gauge22-v2]

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

Energy cannot vanish.

Have you ever tested feces for energy content based on how many meals you have? Perhaps caloric content of your feces is 4x on 2 meals a day vs 1.5x on 5-6 meals a day? Where is Biolayne when I need him..........

I know for a fact that having multiple meals is WAY easier on my digestion (less gas, better stools etc). No science shit from me on this, but this would suggest my body is more efficient in digestion and hence likely absorbs more of the foods I ingest.

Doesn’t everybody?

Ok I'll be the first to admit I skip a few days here and there.

I never claimed otherwise. I never claimed having multiple meals was the same as having 1-2 for digestion or bodycompisiton.

However your body absorbs and utilizes every calorie you consume. If it doesn't because you're unhealthy or are consuming something like olestra or eating sugar free gummy bears (these have the greatest reviews ever written) then you're going to have severe diarrhea.

layne norton would tell you that the amount of meals doesn't matter but total caloric intake does as far as weight loss or gain.

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

Your study is that you’re alive. The ability for the body to store energy (calories) is why hunter gatherers didn’t starve to death.

If our body just stopped storing calories because it was too much then why would anyone be fat at all? Lol

Do you know what a calorie is? It is a measurement of energy bro.
Do you know what the law of conservation or energy is?
If you can disprove this you're going to be the richest man to ever exist

Excuse me but that is bullfeces...

There is caloric residue in your poop....

Procedures for Measuring Excreted and Ingested Calories to Assess Nutrient Absorption Using Bomb Calorimetry - PubMed

Our methods provide a direct measure of ingested calories and stool calories needed to accurately assess relative stool calorie loss as a measure of nutrient absorption. The weight of stool samples across the marked diet period is crucial to determining total stool calories.

Studies suggest that peanuts, pistachios and almonds are less completely digested than other foods with similar levels of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, meaning they relinquish fewer calories than one would expect. A new study by Janet A. Novotny and her colleagues at the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that when people eat almonds, they receive just 129 calories per serving rather than the 170 calories reported on the label. They reached this conclusion by asking people to follow the same exact diets—except for the amount of almonds they ate—and measuring the unused calories in their feces and urine

Science Reveals Why Calorie Counts Are All Wrong

Digestion is far too messy a process to accurately convey in neat numbers. The counts on food labels can differ wildly from the calories you actually extract, for many reasons

Sure there's things like fiber and nuts and corn that our body doesnt have the enzymes to breakdown and digest properly. We've all had peanuts and corn in our shit I believe

There is actually a partial bioaccessibility issue with nuts. Nuts produce a significantly larger particle size post-mastication compared with oils and other fat sources. This translates into lower lipids release during digestion. I guess that if people started chewing properly the outcome would be different, close to that of nuts butter.

Okay, so now you are changing your position. Fair.

Also when hiking on overnight trips I have use dry cow shit, yes it is cows, to help with building fires. How would it burn without calories? Would that not bypass the laws of energy/thermodynamics?

If you pack your body with 2 huge meals do you believe your digestive system is equally efficient compared to multiple meals? I simply do not see how that is possible but I am far from a biology expert....just my personal view on what happens to my guts, and the obvious differences in flatulence/stool movements, when eating large meals compared to smaller.

wow...pm is weird I just spent time discussing shit....

Nope never changed my position. Those things not being able to be digested and utilized has nothing to do with meal timing or amounts.
They will never be properly absorbed and utilized.

Larger meals take longer to digest.

As for the article you posted it absolutely makes sense.
We cannot ever completely control or know our exact energy output.
It doesn't really matter all that much. What we can control is what we put in everything else is monitoring and averages

No I have no clue Mr genius
When you compete and have as many trophies I have and think I don't know anything your the winner.keep your battles here with someone else . I have no energy to argue with you

Thank you someone jas a brain here

I am high as balls and this shit is amazing

Lots of calories in poop. It's not irrelevant; orlistat but not acarbose causes fat loss.

Im just gonna say it because no one else will; I think you might actually be mentally retarded. This thread was painful to read. I don’t care if that’s rude but how the actual FUCK are you even able to tie your shoes.

 

[M@NU]

how about you guys eat and just train hard?
i bet there are 27 factors in your life that influence your bodybuilding results way more than "should i eat 3 meals or 5 meals a day if calories are equal)
at the end of the day, we all (or most of us, superhumans like @luki7788 or @bbxtreme only eat for purpose ) enjoy eating and if i am left immensly hungry after eating each of my 8 350kcal meals i rather eat less meals and feel satisfied. (my body produces less cortisol if its happy so thats a win xD)
edit:
from personal experience:
if it matters for muscle building / fat loss, it is less than 2%. I did everything from eating every 2,5 hours to eating only from 7pm to 10pm and the outcome was always similar.
If i would ever eat 1-2 meals in future again the only thing i would change is less fibre. I ate 1,5kg of veggies in that time and i am sure this is one of the reasons why my abdomen stretched out which i am now fighting with regular vacuums. Often felt like a pregnant woman after the eating window
