interesting studies i posted in diet section. wanted to get them all in one thread, in case anyone else finds them of interest too. very cool stuff that contradicts what some of us believe. i'll post more as i come across em.

The results of the present study fail to support the hypothesis that participants with high daily meal frequency have significantly higher resting metabolic rates as compared to participants with a low daily meal frequency. Meal frequency does not appear to effect metabolic rate. Our study coincides with similar research that has studied the effect of meal frequency and RMR. A similar study found no significant difference in total daily thematic effect of food among frequent and infrequent feeders on isocaloric diets (Kinabo, & Durnin, 1990). Other studies pertaining to RMR and meal frequency of frequent and infrequent eaters have not shown differences in RMRs of healthy (Garrow, Durrant, Mann, Stalley, & Warwick, 1978; Taylor & Garrow, 2001), diabetic (Arnold, Mann, & Ball, 1997), and hyperlipidemic individuals (Arnold, Ball, & Mann, 1994). Despite the inability to find an association between meal frequency and resting metabolic rate, it may still be beneficial for nutrition and fitness professionals to continue to recommend eating small meals throughout the day for weight management purposes. Smaller meals throughout the day may prevent an individual from gorging, thus overeating, during the day, which could ultimately impact body mass favorably.

DUO: The Meal Frequency Project

Conclusion: In this study, three meals per day resulted in larger muscle- and strength gain from strength training when in positive energy balance than six meals per day over a period of twelve weeks. The reason why we draw opposite conclusions from short-term studies needs further investigation. More long-term studies are needed to determine the optimal meal frequency for ultimate gain in LBM from strength training, and larger groups may be needed to determine an effect of meal frequency on fat mass. The changes in fat mass had large variations within and between the groups, making it difficult to draw any conclusions.

Food intake and energy expenditure (EE) were studied in five cyclists during the 22-day race of the Tour de France. The course is about 4000 km including 30 mountain passages (up to 2700 m altitude) and can be considered as one of the most strenuous endurance endeavors. Nutritional intake was calculated from daily food records. EE was estimated from sleeping time and the low activity period. EE during cycling was predicted based on detailed information. Mean energy intake (EI) was 24.7 MJ with a highest mean daily EI of 32.4 MJ. Mean EE was 25.4 MJ with a highest mean daily EE of 32.7 MJ. Relative contribution of protein, CHO, and fat was 15, 62, and 23 En% resp. 49% of EI was taken during the race resulting in a CHO intake of 94 g.h-1 representing 69 en%. It is questioned whether this amount of CHO is optimal in relation to CHO oxidation and performance. About 30% from CHO intake came from CHO-rich liquids. High EI resulted in high Ca and Fe intake. For vitamins, especially B1, this relation was not found. Vitamin B1 nutrient density dropped to 0.25 mg/4.2 MJ during the race caused by a large intake of refined CHO-rich food items. However, vitamin supplementation was high. Daily water intake was 6.71 with extremes up to 11.81. Therefore, the strategy of intake of large quantities of CHO-rich liquids seems to be the appropriate answer to maintain energy and fluid balance under these extreme conditions.

this doesn't mean no fat/low fat. its very important to get the right fats and ENOUGH fats.

this is really kinda of old news, but for all those people that drink bottled water and even use plastic tupperware. u should take a look at this article.
