If you are hungry eat, thirsty drink, listen to your body, if i eat a giant meal i feel sluggish and tired.  Can you thrive on 1 meal a day,  sure..Serge Nubret is a perfect example of that. You have to listen to your body and its signals.

This.

When you break these into smaller feedings, I'm sure you'll feel much better, not to mention increase the thermic effect of eating, so in theory if you can break that 5,000 calories into even 8 meals, it would be even better.
You look great but you are really into the myths of bodybuilding.

You look great but you are really into the myths of bodybuilding.
The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the amount of energy required to digest and process the food you eat.
It’s also referred to as “specific dynamic action” and “thermogenesis,” and research shows that it accounts for approximately 10% of total daily energy expenditure. Every time you eat your body has to use energy to break down and digest the food, how is this a myth? It's science, however which type of foods you decide to eat is the key. You really want to speed up some ones metabolism and increase weight loss? Lets say you are eating at a deficit and you are taking in 3000 calories, instead of eating these calories over 5 meals break them down to even smaller meals and more frequent feedings to 8. Guarantee this increase feedings will warrant more weight loss.

i agree 6x a day is bs, this is better

meal 1 proteinshake
meal 2 breakfast
meal 3 pre-workout snack
meal 4 during training snack
meal 5 post-workout proteinshake
meal 6 lunch
meal 7 afternoon snack
meal 8 dinner
meal 9 evening snack
meal 10 slow digesting protein before bed shake
meal 11 up in the middle of the night, just in case, protein shake



Lol I did this for a couple of years. In the end i could not eat anything without hurling, to much force feeding,  and shrunk down to a tiny tit in 6 months.

6 meals works because you're getting the thermic effect which burns cals as well as keeping the blood sugar stable. Metabolism is humming. I'm talking 6 meals of chicken, rice and broccoli with a couple of protein shakes thrown in between meals. Meal prep day at the Poulos household is something to behold. ;)

If you eat smaller meals your stomach and gut doesn't get as stretched out as it would if you stuff yourself in 1-3 huge meals.

If you are trying to gain weight you can get more calories in usually by eating more meals every 2-2.5 hours or so

When cutting for a contest more frequent meals takes the edge off your hunger so you don't binge.

These are all reasons why it was done.  Arnold detailed it in his mail order courses.

There is nothing training and diet wise in bodybuilding that has not been done already 50 years ago.

The only thing different is the type and amounts of drugs used.  Plenty of drugs were used in the 60s too.

The thermic effect referred to above was believed to be true years ago.  It was another reason to eat 5-6 meals a day.  Have actual studies been done to prove or disprove it I do not know.

Became a staple in the 90s and today because of insulin use. Lantus and humalog in morning with breakfast,humulin r 90 mins pre workout with meal,more humalog post workout meal.

Basically log with every meal,or humulin r 3-4x a day and time meals around it

Healthy lifestyle of peace!
