I have been doing some research and talking with some people who have a lot of knowledge/education/experience in nutrition and they have moved to larger caloric consumption in less frequent feedings. Basically using me for example at around 4K calories I’m pretty close to base caloric needs so I split all my macro nutrients/calories into those 3 meals. It comes out to be around 1,300 cal per meal give or take a few hundred. I’m not so much worried about hitting the macros right on the head but more so hitting that total calorie number each day.
So far I have enjoyed the freedom of not eati as often and also feeling like having 5-6 hrs between meals allows my body to fully digest the food before I start eating again. Think outside the bro science box and don’t get so hung up on what everyone else is doing. I’ll keep you guys informed on how it’s going but after about 7-10 days I’m actually feeling better and lowered my gear intake slightly and I’m fuller and bigger right now compared to couple weeks ago when I was taking the high protein low carb approach.
