Thread: Meal Frequency Facts

Dude is making a lot of sense here. If you don't want to eat 6 meals fine, don't. Is it better? For some yes, notwithstanding from a metabolic standpoint it is common sense. If I tried to eat one 6000 Kcal meal per day, I would need a vomitorium installed in my house.

Good video...Thanks Prince.

I think he nailed it when he said that most of the high level athletes, bb and otherwise, he knows are eating several meals a day. I have always done the same for many years with great success. New ideas and fads come along every few years (believe me...I have seen a lot of them) and eventually fade away. You have to stick with what works for YOUR body. For me it is 5-6 meals daily.

I think sumo wrestlers just eat one huge meal a day - not sure, but I think I heard that somewhere before.

I think you should sue.

Great video. I eat 6 meals/day. It works for me and fits into my daily routine. I find that I have more energy throughout the day, and eat when I get hungry, which is every 2-3 hours. However, I would not say that everyone should do this. Do what works for you to feel good and meet your goals. I think a meal frequency between 3-6 times/day is reasonable.

I believe built, like me, does intermittent fasting, so she probably doesn't eat a bunch of small meals.

I love IF for convenience. It helps to not have to think about food for long portions of the day.

Three meals here. I try to eat them within a 10-12-hour window.

There was an interesting documentary on sumo wrestlers.

It talked about the way their bodies stored the fat. Its all stored subq on the outside of their muscles. They are very healthy according to the documentary. One practice they use is eating very large meals before bed and before naps. They nap during the day.

It was on discovery health or something like that. Lot of good info that would help "normal" people wanting to gain weight but stay healthy.

vomitorium (n.) - in a theater or stadium, esp. ancient, a passageway leading to and from the seating.
