Don't waste your time in the gym if you aren't eating 7-8 meals a day

[redbinder]

I see so many lifters on here with chitty physiques who think that some new exercise or workout is going to change their bodies. It won't. If you aren't eating 7-8 small meals a day (MINIMUM) you are massively holding yourself back. Your body can't absorb more than 25g of protein per hour, so you need to spread out the muscle feeding. Eat every 1.5-2 hours and you'll get the results you want.

And before anyone says anything stupid about this, realize and respect that I have a B.S (HONOURS) in NUTRITION. I study this, it's my life, you don't know chit. Just do what I say and you'll actually get the results you want.

edit: Some proof for doubters, the emailed version of my diploma:

[fuzionite]

So....much...broscience

[puremb]

So if I get 8, 100calorie meals a day I'm gonna get huge?

[deezd]

lmao i was like lmao

strong avi

[SwimmingBrah]

stupid and false

[Woodyy]

You posted this before you stupid *******, no one is falling for your trolling.

8, try at least 16 OP lol.

[mrfatwrecker]

I don't usually neg tards, but when I do...they deserve it

Im havin 4 meals today

Am I a wizard?

[2813308004]

it's true bros!

[TheBlackHombre]

u mad i eat 3 meals a day and **** your wife while you're away. yeah u mad *******

[Proteinmacros]

Strong repost.

[muscularinferno]

So I should listen to you because you have a degree? You dont even lift

[jamespoe1]

i IF before and got sick lean gains........the whole cookie cutter 6 to 8 meals is not for everyone. if done a tiny bit wrong your looking at being overly heavy

[coppb]

What you do that diploma for? Wouldn't they let you be a school teacher?

[mrfatwrecker]

LOL wtf is the international academy of nutrition

[Murderfox]

OP..u mad?

lol @ your body can't absorb more than 25g of protein per hour.

pls go

[aal04]

I study this, it's my life

You fail at life.

FROM LEANGAINS:

5. Myth: Maintain a steady supply of amino acids by eating protein every 2-3 hours. The body can only absorb 30 grams of protein in one sitting.


Truth

Whenever you hear something really crazy you need to ask yourself if it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. It's a great way to quickly determine if something may be valid or if it's more likely a steaming pile of horse****. This myth is a great example of the latter. Do you think we would be here today if our bodies could only make use of 30 grams of protein per meal?

The simple truth is that more protein just takes a longer time to digest and be utilized. For some concrete numbers, digestion of a standard meal is still incomplete after five hours. Amino acids are still being released into your bloodstream and absorbed into muscles. You are still "anabolic." This is a fairly standard "Average Joe"-meal: 600 kcal, 75 g carbs, 37 g protein and 17 g fat. Best of all? This was after eating pizza, a refined food that should be quickly absorbed relatively speaking.

Think about this for a second. How long do you think a big steak, with double the protein intake of the above example, and a big pile of veggies would last you? More than 10 hours, that's for sure. Meal composition plays an important role in absorption speed, especially when it comes to amino acids. Type of protein, fiber, carbohydrates and prior meals eaten all affect how long you'll have amino acids released and being taken up by tissues after meals.

Origin

I think this "30 grams of protein"-nonsense started to circulate after a classic study from 1997 by Boirie and colleagues. "Slow and fast dietary proteins differently modulate postprandial protein accretion" was the first study to quantify the absorption rate of whey and casein protein and gave birth to the concept of fast and slow protein. After that, whey protein came to be known for it's ability to rapidly elevate amino acids in the blood stream and casein for it's ability to create a sustained release of amino acids. Whey was anabolic and casein anti-catabolic.

Given that 30 grams of whey protein was absorbed within 3-4 hours, I guess some people believed that meant 30 grams of protein can only be used in one sitting. Or that you had to eat every 3-4 hours to stay "anabolic." Unfortunately, people missed a few facts that made these findings irrelevant to real-world scenarios. First of all, this study looked at the absorption rate of whey protein in the fasted state. On it's own, and with no meals eaten beforehand, 30 grams of whey protein is absorbed within a mere 3-4 hours. With meals eaten earlier in the day, or if you'd consume a whey shake after a meal, absorption would be much slower.

Second of all, whey protein is the fastest protein of all and digests at 10 g/hour. Casein is much slower; in Boirie's study, the casein protein was still being absorbed when they stopped the experiment 7 hours later. Most whole food proteins are absorbed at a rate of 3-6 grams an hour. Add other macronutrients to that and they'll take longer.

This man:



while he did take steroids...like all back in those days...

still only ate once a day

Your logic is flawed.

[JMAG90]

Successful troll is successful

Brb calling out physiques with no avi

brb even IF the body could only absorb 25g protein per hour (broscience), your digestive system can take HOURS to fully digest a meal you idiot.

[Torpeda]

it s only true for ectos

[Brahrker]

Your name is Bronwen De Klerk, and you think people give a fuk what you have to say?

[its_mo]

lol

[jwlee7ucla]

hmm.. listening to a no avi guy with an emailed diploma spitting out broscience, with a name that sounds like hes in medieval times..

[mrfatwrecker]

OP mad I negged him.

Says we're toasting in a roll bread.
