http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/02/eat-six-times-a-day-the-dangers-of-frequent-eating/ (http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/02/eat-six-times-a-day-the-dangers-of-frequent-eating/)
when being fed every 2-3 hours the body will not be encouraged to burn any of its stored fat for energy, either. Why should it bother digging out the fat stores for energy when it is being spoon-fed all day long?
When you eat three meals a day and have ample time between meals, the body is forced to burn that stored fat. Once the fat is restored as an active fuel supply you will see better energy, more stable moods, greater mental clarity, better sleep, less cravings and of course, natural and permanent weight management.
This tit must of not heard of the Mr. Olympia ...hahhaha oh brother, maybe for whiney ass house wives I would see his advice would work ...

If you still believe 6 meals a day are necessary you can't be helped.
-
I probably eat on average 2-3 meals as oppose to the multiple meal nonsense I did years ago.
-
Interesting read... I wonder how many people here eat multiple frequent meals vs. 3 x.
-
I eat the 3 normal meals plus a post-workout shake when I train in the evening. Any more is BS...
-
I eat small meals whenever I'm hungry. Probably 4 - 5 a day.
-
Forgot to mention I'll eat your mom too...
-
You guys know how lean I am and my diet is twice as sloppy as when I ate perfectly according to the magazines.
My "metabolic furnace"might not be stoked but I've got virtually no fat on my body. Because I'm leaner I need less hormonas to look the way I like as well. No more shitting or eating around the clock for me unless I have brutal munchies.
Logic for the win!

2 meals per day here, sitting at 250lbs ~15% bodyfat and no hormones in my system for weeks.

i eat 6 meals a day because I am hungry 6 times a day.

It does not make much of a different but it isn't exactly a myth, here is why, during contest prep I used ketones sticks, I tried 5 days eating 3 times a day and sense I was already in the state of ketosis and have not eaten many carbs I stayed in ketosis until I eat, but when I eat 3 meals a day, my meals where big so I checked what state I was in after my meals and for nearly 3 hours after I eat I would not be in full ketosis and when I jumped to 6 meals even immediately after my meal I would still be in full ketosis, so I was burning more fat on 6 meals then on 3 cause I was always in the state of burning fat, doesn't matter what anyone says I know for a fact you're in the state of burning fat longer on 6 meals, I tested this myself and challange anyone to try what I tried, end of debate, but of cours this is only true if your meals are no or low carbs if you are eating 200 g of carbs times six meals you will never be in the state of burning fat no matter what
-
ketones dont mean your losing fat, it just means your burning fat in general. doesnt have to be body fat, can be excessive amounts of dietary fat as well. you can be gaining fat and be in ketosis.
larger meals cause a bigger increase in insulin, which will decrease the amount of ketones in your blood.
-
Just eat when you're hungry.

Your not going to see too many fat people in ketosis. If your only eating from 2 energy sources ( pro/fat ) and your not grossly overeating your going to be losing fat.
-

Pretty much. If you're a regular enough person who's in shape that's pretty reliable. But if you're a fatass with a pancreas that's dying from being drowned in chocolate milk and Skittles then that's another story.

There are many ways to Rome. You cant just deny eating six meals over 3 meals and vica verca. What it comes down to is cals in and out anyway regardless on how many meals you eat during the day. This is common knowledge.

oh brother....feeling ketosis after a big meal ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
I eat about 5 small meals because it keeps me from getting hungry and over eating. I also feel like my mood is better throughout the day, and that I am more productive that way as opposed to 3 large meals. Breakfast is my biggest meal by far.
-
3 meals here. If my day is long or im hungry i snack on something.
6 meals is just retarded.
what i did today
2 toast+1banana
rice+chicken
turkey
5 cookies
that you go 3 meals and 1 snack.
-
I eat 6 small meals a day, have been for years. I only do it because I get hungry and if I dont stay structured I will eat far too many carbs. Plus I'm el natural!

I dont see how anyone with a job, a life, and a family can find time eating 6 meals a day without it totally taking control of your life.
I just went out and ran some errands right now. I was gone for four hours. I ate about an hour before I left and I'll probably make some dinner in an hour or so. So that'll be a good 6 hours between meals. Im not hungry at all.
Ill have 4 meals today. Which I usually end up having. I usually have 2 in the earlier part of the day and 2 later in the day with one being a before bed snack more so then a meal.
6 meals........I just dont see how u guys do it.
-
Layne Norton has preached many times how eating 6 meals a day is a total myth!
Personally I eat 4 food meals a day and 3 protein shakes (and almonds at night) meals a day! Just my preference!
-
The phrase 6 "meals" is the only problem. Every single good amateur or pro bodybuilder eats/consume calories 5 - 7 times per day. No exceptions. Just as Big A has stated.
-
I eat this 6 meals a day. getting shredded... ;D

-
I eat 6 meals a day to get calories in...impossible otherwise
-
Eating 6 meals a day is easy. Iam up at 3:45 so breakfast, then 3 meals at work (12 hour shift) then supper at 6 then eat again around 9. I eat because iam hungry plus gh really increases my appetite.
-
If your body needs 3000kcal that day and you eat 2500 over 3 meals or 2500 over 5 meals there still is 500 short either way and you will lose weight. Personally I prefare to eat little and often because I am always hungry unless I eat my self sick which can be a much as 3000kcals + in a sitting. When I eat big meals im sluggish and bloated.
I love food, I could sit their picking at food all day and never feel full. Eat what feels best for you

Your not dedicated enough. 6 meals is nothing, try 7-8. Its all about planning each day on the forehand.
-
on a day in and day out basis I seem to do about 4 meals per day (not counting pre/peri workout nutrition as a meal)
-

Why would anyone want to dedicate their day to eating?

The size of meals matters as much as the number. Catabolism of muscle tissue only starts after two things happen:
1. Glucose and triglycerides from your last meal are not longer entering your bloodstream and...
2. Liver and part of muscle glycogen stores are depleted.
All of this takes somewhere between 10 to as much as 50 hours depending on the amount of calories of your last meal to the size of your liver and muscle glycogen stored.
A large meal furnishes more calories and takes longer to digest, thus delays catabolism longer. Once no more glucose an triclycerides are entering your bloodstream from your last meal, your body starts using the glycogen stored in your liver. Once this is gone, it starts to burn muscle glycogen. Muscle glycogen is never completely used because you need it for movement during a fast.
After that, muscle protein starts getting chewed up and taken to the liver to be converted into glucose via gluconeogenesis. The body chews up muscle protein first because this decreases metabolism. The body is programmed to survive, so it decreases muscle mass to decrease overall caloric needs. Muscle is maintained only as needed for movement. Then, when the body cannot use essential muscle, it takes the fat stored in fat cells to the liver where it is broken into short-chain glycerides and turned into glucose to furnish the body with energy. So this is the order:
1. Calories from meal...
2. Calories from liver and muscle glycogen..
3. Muscle protein...
4. Fat from fat cells...
Fat is the last to go. This is why weight training exercise is so essential. If you tell your body you need the muscle, it will spare it and go straight to bodyfat and not chew your muscles when you are in a caloric deficit and your live glycogen store is depleted. Look at marathoners. They have little fat but also little muscle. All that exercise puts them in a caloric deficit, and the body uses all their bodyfat for energy, but also their muscle tissue except for the quads and calves which they need for running.

think people saying they need 6 meals cause they are hungry so much is because of habit. I used to eat 6 times a day and was still hungry all the time. Then i started skipping breakfast and tried fasting all day. hunger was pretty much gone. but i don't like feeling like i always have to eat at the same time period. so now i just eat whenever, nearly always skip breakfast as I'm far more concerned about curing my thirst than eating. always so thirsty in the morning and my stomach is sensitive to food early on.
I normally just have some egg whites and pineapple then go train. screw eating 6 times a day 'on the clock'. Seems so pointless. I can understand if you really struggle to eat alot of calories in one sitting but people who are eating to cut on say 2000 calories a day, if u split that into 6 meals thats like what, just over 300 calories per meal? Thats boring! would much rather eat about 600 calories a meal and enjoy it, or even 1000 calories for dinner and the rest earlier on which is what i tend to do now. Personal preference I guess. But I do agree that meal frequency is the least of peoples concerns for body comp.
-
3-5 meals a day here.
-
3-5 is ideal IMO when dieting.
3 meals and 3 shakes for me @ the mo, but I'm only taking in 3000 Kcal...
I could imagine eating 5000 + calories being tough in the off season though, it will be easier to get it all in with more frequent smaller meals (less bloated) or grazing all day... than trying to stuff your face with 2-3 massive meals.
-
I agree with SMM. Size of the meal counts a lot.
This is why there are so many permabulkers. They are getting too many calores.

breakfast, 3 meals at work, 2 meals after work
???
-
So you just took an article from elephantjournal which im pretty sure meant for the natural and normal population and than you give the example of Mr.Olympia which is the top of the extreme?
2 meals per day here, sitting at 250lbs ~15% bodyfat and no hormones in my system for weeks.
I thought you was on tren trying to get into the singles, what happened?
-
when bbs clam they eat 6 meals a day is nothing to do with a fat loss or building muscle is to do whit the drugs the use gh+slin, you need this content calories
-
I only eat when my body feels hungry, which is a lot more on stims and gear. If you force feed your self you just get bloated and fat.
-
Good thread. Interdasting.
The last three months ive done a 360 on when and how much i eat.
This has worked for ME.
3 Eggs, almonds, granola bar, coffee
two turkey bugers, apple
THEN I EAT WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT FOR DINNER.
Hamburger chips or tukey sangwhich chips or monster salad (meat, croutons, hard boiled eggs)
So this is only three meals a day. Look the best I ever have eating this way.
-
3-4 meals with two shakes mixed in water................thi s depends on my goals though.............usual ly 3 meals,1-2 shakes off season depending on how many days a week I`m training and my activity level.
-

Hormones and steroids. Lots of them. Try it. You will eat your mom too.

Wes is a perfect example of this.

If you did a 360, you would be facing the same way as you were before. So you eat the exact same way as you did before?
