I Need My Cutting Diet Critiqued

[Redshoteye]

Why?

Metabolism is increased this way and fat storage is minimalized.... eating more than 3 meals is a staple in bb diets.

Yeah, I realize why the musclemags tell you to do so, but I was wondering if you'd actually tried eating the exact same foods in 3 meals vs. 6 or more. I bet you'd see ZERO difference.

lol.

I'm not one to read muscle&fiction but thank you. This practice has been tried and true, myself included, and no muscle magazine propoganda is involved. Theres really nothing to sell here, its science. Eat more frequently between the day and your metabolism is increased because of more frequent food digestion and energy is burned and used more efficiently.

I suggest browsing these boards a little longer before you give advice.

Interesting that you'd bring up science considering studies have been done on this EXACT topic, and results showed NO difference between 3 meals and 6.

I would suggest browsing other sources besides EliteFitness (where the diet advice is usually horrendous) before making smug remarks .

First off I'd like to see that source because if your aggressively BB you will not get away with three meals. Your body tends to store what it doesnt receive frequently, by eating 6 meals a day, your body will better utilize what you eat as opposed to storing it.

Since you have trouble seeing this crystal clear fact, say you mix a protein shake in a blender... your claim is that putting three scoops of protein all at once (instead of seperating in 3 shakes throughout day) will have the same effect on the body, which is UNTRUE... your body will utilize protein and its nutrients much better in smaller increments, thats why after a certain amount, whey can't be usefully digested.

...and who says I browse EF for diet sources anyway bor??

The guys above me did a good job w/ your diet, so I don't think i need to add anything. But perhaps you should add some suplimental zinc to your diet, and make cardio 4 days per week?

1) If you store more calories as fat per meal (as a result of eating less frequent, but larger meals), it's offset by the fact that you burn stored energy in between meals. The net effect is the same.

2) You're right when it comes to whey. This is basically the only time it matters.

First off dude, you have to up your meals. 3 meals a day is not enough to cut fat. If you want to keep your muscle while cutting you have to intake food every 3-4 hrs. No exceptions. You need to have protein in every meal. I suggest given your body weight and height 30-40 grams per meal.
In the moring, your very first meal add more fat. Flax seed or olive oil. You want to add more polyunsaturated fats. Keep you fat intake between 40-50 grams. (may need to add more)
After your workout don't consume any fat for about 3 hours. I would suggest adding some carbs post workout with your shake.
No carbs 3-4 hrs before bed. Right before bed cosume some source of casien protein.

I agree with you, and love the 6 meal.. sometimes I'll even stretch it to 7, but at most thats just an extra can of tuna or something..
