Is spacing meals out during the day necessary?

[gatomjp]

Well it looks like we stirred up a little controversy with a seemingly harmless video!


In this video we show how Emily manages to eat 6 meals during the day even though she has a busy schedule.

It turns out there are many people who say this is no longer necessary and that you can eat all your meals in a 6 hour window and still get the same results.


The conversation got so nasty and out of control I had to delete the video and re-upload it!!


What's your opinion?

I think if you are bulking, and/or using steroids then a traditional 6 meal plan might be slightly better.  But if you want to lose weight, or just maintain then fewer meals are better IMHO. Two really big meals are much more satisfying.

Eat all 6 meals at once for time savings.  Your body will naturally release all the correct nutrients needed at the right time.  When hitting flat bench the body will release the grilled chicken breast nutrients, when playing chess the body will release the carrot nutrients, when performing buddy towel curls the body will release the sausage pizza nutrients.  Point is the body knows.

I agree.

Fact is, when you workout hard and your actually turning over protein, you'll be hungry often. Even after eating a healthy 500-1000 kcals. If you're not that hungry, then your not in need of the goods. Simple as that. Eat when you're hungry.
