Evo diet. How many meals a day.

[Shrine]

The Evolutionary diet is designed on the basis of ketogenic/anabolic diet minimums with a bodyopus-style refeed. As a result, when you're in a ketogenic state, meal frequency becomes mostly irrelevant due to ketones and FFA taking over as your main source of energy. In addition, ketones are protein sparing, and ketosis, in general, kills your appetite. There are studies linking high levels of ketones to high levels of leptin and low levels of ghrelin.

In terms of meal frequency, the topic is subjective at best. While there are studies showing bigger meals with less frequency lead to better fat loss, it doesn't mean you need to eat big meals if that's something you're uncomfortable with. If you want to succeed in your diet, follow the ratios and the diet theory, but, ultimately, feel what's right for you.

If you can get 5-6 real meals a day not shakes you should grow nicely

Very good cuz For me is more easy to manage 1 or 2 large meals instead of one.

Like i say all the time, there are reports and studies to back just about every diet out there.Use trial and error.Its best to see on your own, what works best for you.

If two to three meals per day works better for you, do it. As long as your macros come out the same at the end of the day, it won't matter in the grand scope of things. I'm doing 6 meals per day right now and have been for some time, but I have done 2-3 meals per day before and made great progress. Do what works best for you and your situation

You can do a study on just about anything and by changing certain variables, make it come out how you want it. Bodybuilders for decades have been eating many, small sized meals throughout the day....and for good reason. Stop looking up junk articles on the internet. Eating small meals throughout the day keeps your insulin levels at a much more stable level, which keeps your metabolism going, which means you are expending more calories throughout the day and essentially burning more fat. (assuming you're eating correctly)

Hey cogburn,
It may serve you better to have a little respect for fellow members here.
Because studies also show dickheads get tossed

If you have an opinion say it if you have research bring it. That's what this forum is for. But keep your asshole tendencies to yourself.
D.D.
