Eat Six Times a Day? The Dangers of Frequent Eating.

[Scrumhalf]

Small regular meals have proved effective for decades

There is very little well-designed scientific data on athletic populations to support this. The only thing that is reasonably well understood is the pre and post-workout window. Beyond that, macros and total calories are the only thing that is well established as relevant.

Thoughts on this? I am a bit conflicted. For the average person trying to lose weight or just be healthy I feel this article is fine. Just dont think its relevant for a bodybuilder especially a bodybuilder on AAS or HGH etc..

For bodybuilders/athletes we are a different breed and our requirements are much different than the average person.

Yeah yeah thanks, listen go to three meals a day then and call me in a year to tell me how that went. Otherwise stop pedalling it.

One of those rare times I will go against scrum and say real world results is all the science I need to show multiple smaller meals are superior to 3 big ones.

I skimmed this and disagree with the whole thing. I believe the reverse to be true. Eating smaller, more frequent meals has many benefits.
