This is usually what I do.  I'm not a breakfast person so I do a large lunch and a normal size dinner.  Usually I fit a snack in there somewhere.  People overthink this.  Just do what feels better for your body.  As long as you get all your calories in and you are eating good whole food, you will be fine.

i eat lunch and dinner only 90% of the time for the last 20yrs or so.

My opinion is the only reason im not 150kg of obeseness is because of that timing of eating.

Because i dont snack it lessens the chance of eating biscuits or lollies.  l find eating more often only serves to increase the chances i eat bad food over my normal 2 chances.

Eating once a day vs twice was less water during the day but at night id heat up like a mofo after my one meal (even if only 1k cals) and be sweating. that doeant happen with 2 meals.

what is 'a long time'?

The problem for many is what they eat. You want to last 24hrs between meals you dont want to eat chinese takeaway or Maccas as you will be on struggle street battling all sorts of issues.

My wife can't fast to save her life but she doesn't eat foods that assist in fasting. It's not for everyone but there is a massive difference in general feeling eating 1-2x a day vs 5-6x.

Suppose he's eating food which has 4500 calories and his daily expenditure is 3500 calories, yet he stays the same weight. In this case, would eating more calories help?

Good thread grinch. There is a movie on amazon called Science of fasting. It seems pretty legit and well documented the health benefits of it. I can tell u my anxiety is waaayyyyy less when I fast all day. I'm more comfortable around people.

Today I fasted all day until 5pm, then had 6 simple sushi rolls that had white rice(salmon, yellowtail) with 2 draft beers. I'm assuming I'm still sub two thousand calories. Currently cutting.

There is something to fasting.

People don't realize how much energy it takes for the body to digest food.

I believe a well thought out fasting procedure can do wonders.

i did some serious fasting this summer

- no lemon water, no bcaas no coffee

in my opinion the best fasting method is to fast for 24-36 hours 1x per week and then eat your normal healthy diet the other days.

just a pure water fast 24-36 hours is most effective (cleans out digestive track, clear skin etc)

Prolonged fasting will lower it.

Start out with intermittent fasting. That is fasting for a certain number of hours per day.

Do some research.

There are good books.

Plenty of articles online.

Good videos on YouTube as well.

The knowledge is there.

Jokes aside, been doing intermittent fasting for two years. Helped me lose a bunch of weight.

Lean and mean is better.

I'm eating between 3500-4000 and just maintaining 197-194, I've been eating this caloric level for the past month, so obviously this is my maintanance level, so by this I need to bump up my calories another 500 calories, only problem is my appetite is gone and tired of eating.

sorry mate i don't understand what you are getting at, if hes eating 4000 cals a day and not gaining weight then he isnt in a calorific excess on a consistent basis, so yes, hes using those calories and isnt having any left over for conversion into stored fat.

Have you ever felt hungry enough to eat again in 2 hours after eating a pizza or burgers? I keeping the meats mostly ground up for this reason, digestability..if I eat a bunch of pizza I won't be hungry again for another 5 hours, same goes for foods like pasta, pancakes, waffles..these things just sit in you. Pizza with all the crust/flour it just sits in you, burgers I just do the ground beef once a day, again the bread is just going to fill me up. Nut butters and oils, however I agree lots of calories for not huge quantities of food.

I think Serge Nubret as well, but I can't fathom how I would be able to take in and assimilate 400grams of protein in one meal? Some how Nubret did it, like 6 or 7 pounds of horse meat he would eat in a sitting.

Been doing it for a month, do you think I'm lying? I'm asking for help/advice how to bulk, most guru's are recommending 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, I weight 197, Milos recommends 2 grams of protein per pound and 2 grams of carbs per pound, the most I can stomach at this point is what I just listed. The protein actually is easiest to eat, especially if you are doing easily digestible stuff like ground meat, egg whites, liquid eggwhites, tuna, raw eggs, and protein powders.

Lol, I was in a bad mood this morning...

Anyway, just because you eat X calories doesn't mean your body will store "X - (expended calories)" as fat, glycogen, or whatever. There's really no way to know how much you digest and how much you excrete as waste.

Sure, if you just ate junk food all day you anyone could probably go full de Niro and get fat, but when guys like go4it try to do everything in a controlled manner, it's just naive. Especially if you're trying to be in a 500 calorie excess or whatever the hell... Lol, good luck with that. Who even counts the thermic effect anyway. Protein = 28% lost in digestion, carbs 25%, fat 2% or something like that... Then it changes if the food is cooked or raw, and even further with the quality of the food.

It's no wonder everyone says "people are bad at estimating calories", it's like a disease. Here you have a guy who's counting every meal down to the ounce, tallies it all up to "3812" calories, yet doesn't count the fucking oil he fries everything in... Oh wait, it bumps it up to 4000 (including condiments). Lol completely delusional, you could barely fry half a meal in that.

Lol, I was in a bad mood this morning...

Anyway, just because you eat X calories doesn't mean your body will store "X - (expended calories)" as fat, glycogen, or whatever. There's really no way to know how much you digest and how much you excrete as waste.

Sure, if you just ate junk food all day you anyone could probably go full de Niro and get fat, but when guys like go4it try to do everything in a controlled manner, it's just naive. Especially if you're trying to be in a 500 calorie excess or whatever the hell... Lol, good luck with that. Who even counts the thermic effect anyway. Protein = 28% lost in digestion, carbs 25%, fat 2% or something like that... Then it changes if the food is cooked or raw, and even further with the quality of the food.

It's no wonder everyone says "people are bad at estimating calories", it's like a disease. Here you have a guy who's counting every meal down to the ounce, tallies it all up to "3812" calories, yet doesn't count the fucking oil he fries everything in... Oh wait, it bumps it up to 4000 (including condiments). Lol completely delusional, you could barely fry half a meal in that.

I know all that, at what point do you think I seem to have forgotten it?

getting fat means eating in excess on a regular basis
If you eat 10,000 cals in a day you wont put on over 2lbs of fat, the body doesnt work that well to process it all, I know my body doesnt process foods very well, If I eat mushrooms I can shit them out undigested, I know my body isnt using the calories in them all that well
