How many do you do?

When it comes to eating there's a certain stigma around how many meals you should be consuming. The fact of the matter is there's no right or wrong answer. I do suggest you eat 2 meals at the very least (even then..).

So why does everyone keep telling you to eat 6 meals per day?... This has for a long time been the #1 rule for the fitness community, but why? It was believed that eating all the time was feeding tour fat burning furnace and keeping the protein synthesis constant with a constant supply of nutrients etc.

The truth is that it doesn't really matter all that much.

• It takes time to digest food
• Its more about calories in and calories out
• Your body CAN digest more than 30g of protein per meal
• Most people don't feel satisfied eating teeny tiny meals which leads to binge eating
• Its far easier to get ripped eating less frequently

For some people eating 6 meals a day works (especially if your a freakin' massive body-builder who NEEDS that much food), but for most it is unnecessary and a hassle to say the least.

Make sure your eating your required amount of protein and fats/carbs, and the rest is your own choice!

Keep it simple.
