This makes no sense.
Lol that's nothing to do with 3 vs 6 meals. You can just as easy try and sneak in snacks or eat takeaway on 6 meals.
I have found and so have many others that it is easier not to overeat on 3 meals vs 6 because I get to eat bigger more satisfying meals.
I did and its retarded and nothing to do with 3 vs 6 meals.
Hmmm I think different things work for different people?
6 meals is fine.
1 meal is fine.
2 or 3 meals is fine.
None of them are superior or better than. It's what is applicable and workable to your lifestyle. As long as your meeting your macros and calorie intake...it doesn't matter how often you're eating?
I eat 2 meals a day.
Lunch and dinner.
I've lost 77kg in 14 months.
It works for me, because I don't like breakfast. I don't eat anything before 1 or 2pm actually. I have never snacked. I work out and do cardio on an empty stomache. I weight train around an hour after a meal.
So I have 2 calorie dense, lovely meals a day.
And as I have issues with eating post surgery, I have a protein shake in addition to my meal, to supplement any shortfalls.
I think we said this in another thread. But the amount of meals you have, is dependant on your own needs.
Some people have higher rep meals, with lower portions.
Some people have lower rep meals, with greater portions.
No one way, is superior. Nor is one way worse. It's dependant on what works for that particular human being.
If someone told me, I had to eat 6 times a day, I wouldn't be able to do it and I'd give up...fast.
Two meals a day, suits me just fine. And always has. I just had to educate myself and know what to, and how much to eat, for those two meals a day.
Low reps, for greater portions.
That's all.
There is no right or wrong. There is only what is right, for you

Meh 6 meals is better than 3, I understand that the evidence is says that one is not better then the other and it really comes down to what works for the individual, but I just don't know a single body builder that doesn't eat 6 meals a day. If that makes me a bro scientist than so be it. As I'd prefer to go with people who I see getting results over keyboard warriors.
Lol. Your posts make no sense at all. So many contradictions.

Oh wow the comeback that no one has heard before ''I don't know a bodybuilder..'' Well I don' know a ''bodybuilder'' who looks any good more than 1 day a year and can't stick to that routine for more than 12 weeks without wanting to neck themselves....

Yeah, I know a stack of builders, figure competitors and strength athletes who eat five or greater meals a day all day, every day, all year. And a lot of them look damn good all day, every day, all year. I'm not trying to prove one theory over the other, but if the post you've quoted (somewhat derogatorily) is broscience - you two just might be bro's. I eat five or more meals a day, and handle it just fine. I like to eat a lot, and find that if I try and eat as much as I would like in only three sittings, I end up feeling like crap. I think a lot of people will agree with me in saying that 'listen to your body' and decide what suits it best.
Don't get me wrong, the post you've quoted makes little sense. But having said that, it makes more sense than your rationalisation.

Your body is functioning on it's habitual cycle. Of course change will take time for adaption to happen. It is normal, so if have been doing the 6 meals a day thing of course there will be some adjustment time required (hormonally). I just find it funny how you are trying to explain actual human physiology based on a ''he said, she said'' thing rather than the actual biological function which is explained/shown by science to be the complete opposite.
I suggest you open your eyes and actually read something rather than relying on what a bodybuilder says.
PS, I eat 1 meal a day and maintain 7% bodyfat all year around, eat any food types I like that meet my macros and calorie requirements and continue to increase strength and LBM. So your reasoning is the one that is flawed my friend, when from a ''bro'' point of view I can achieve the same if not better results by doing the complete opposite to what the 'norm' is for so called bodybuilder.
