Been on 2 meals a day most days and it feels great. Love the content!

[@JoeIcke1]

Great vid, just started doing it and I feel way less tired during the day already, it’s also amazing how much you look forward to your evening meal and how much better it feels like your body absorbs food because it’s had some real time to rest in between meals. The only struggle is I’m extremely active, I’m out mountain biking or hiking all day sometimes and it feels difficult to get enough calories in on a morning to see me through the whole day. Stopping exercising earlier and having an earlier dinner seems preferable to eating midday then resuming exercise as I feel a huge dip in energy and concentration after, which can and has lead to me having some bad crashes when I’m out riding. I’d rather have a shorter day riding with more focus, energy and clarity, than a long day with a lunch break where I’m tired and under performing for the second half of it.

[@NutritionLibrary]

nothing wrong with doing snacks during the day if you are particularly active. Dried meats, cheeses, dried fruits, yogurt and so on. I do this to fuel my late afternoon workouts. Works great. No snacks on days im not super active though. Seems to be a great rhythm for me at least.

I’d like to see a part 2 to this on what the meals and possibly training is like.

[@choclatelatte]

This is exactly what I’m doing at the moment. It just seems so natural to my body. Im usually not hungry in the morning till lunch. I would eat a decent size brunch. Maybe a piece of fruit/snack between lunch and dinner; usually not because I’m not hungry. Then eat a big size dinner. Sometimes I would eat more or less often listening to my body.

How you optimisme muscle growth and workouts with 2 meals a day? Lift beforen or after breakfast?

[@NutritionLibrary]

After. I can't say this is what is maximally good for muscle growth, however what I do is massive brunch. at 10. snack on workout days before the gym at 3-4 and dinner around 5:30. Protein shake before bed. Total daily protein, is more important than timing. Timing is something only worth worrying about if you are competitive.

I also feel like shit if i eat 6x a day when iam bulking i eat around 5k a day and my digestion isnt that great tbh when iam cutting at the end iam on 3 meals a day 16/8 still eating 1k meals but my digestion is way better and i feel better my skin is better.

[@garrettlangmaid7965]

Interesting. I found that eating 16/8 intermittent fasting, I was still having that afternoon slump. It was even bigger because of the giant amount of food I ate. I eat 3-4 meals a day now and get a very minimal afternoon slump. I do this because of the downsides of fasting: - increased stress hormones because of lack of glucose - decrease in lean mass (cuz of stress) or very hard to gain - feel very slow after cramming down a massive meal I think what your saying makes some sense. I could see how eating 2 meals but not in a 16/8 fashion and more of a breakfast and dinner style could work. But I think you still need to bridge the gap between the 2 meals with some sort of glucose fuel or else there will come a point where your body runs on stress hormones. If you can time the glucose spikes right and avoid the crash by adding fats to slow digestion, you can mitigate this effect.

[@jaythree6366]

[@John.Smithing.lvl100]

Nice video. Although I think that the palaeolithic has much more to teach us than the post agricultural society. Tribes on colder climates ate primarily meat with a lower frequency while on hotter climates there was a tendency to consume more vegetables with higher frequency. Of course there's everything in between as well. Society is a very recent phenomenon, and it doesn't have as much has an impact as we think. Ultimately, people should experiment and see what works best for them and for their routine and lifestyle choises

I'm a 6 meals per day person an always snack between meals because I struggle to maintain my weight and build muscle mass. Yes I feel sluggish and tired all day but i'm afraid if I try just 2 or 3 meals a day i'll lose weight. I once tried a water fast when I had covid and lost about 10 lbs after just a 3 or 4 day fast and then I lost my appetite so I lost another 10lbs over the next 2 weeks. It took me about a year 1/2 to gain the muscle weight back.

EXACTLY! this is for the average, unfit, fat, non active american.

[@NutritionLibrary]

what is building muscle dependent on? Stimulus? Protein? And calories? As long as those are in check you can build muscle. The key with two meals a day is spacing the meals far enough apart where you can consume a significant amount of calories and protein at each meal without it effecting your appetite for the next.

given that i need 3500 calories a day i would end up in severe bloating, pain and food coma if i divided thast into 2 portions. also i found out that miximg too many different foods digests worse so eating only 2 times a day results in very low variety in foods eaten. currently a lot of guys on instagram propagate eating 8 eggs one big avocado 3 ounces cheese and 12!! ounces red meat at once for breakfast but they almost always look like overweight 50 yo inflamed workers from 1920 with hairloss
