Meal Frequency: Finding The Body Composition Sweet Spot

by

Feel like you eat all the time but are never satisfied? Take a hard look at your meal planning and caloric distribution.

“Eat 4-6 meals per day to rev your metabolism and burn more calories.”

How many times have you heard that? Plenty, I imagine. In bodybuilding circles, this often gets expanded to 6-8 meals. I even saw a Mr. Olympia diet article where the reigning champ was eating 10 meals per day.

I get the logic. More is better. Keep fueling the metabolic furnace. But do we? When a dietary system like this places such strict demands on our lifestyles, we need to re-examine our habits and the science that drives them.
