Boys, do you have anything on net energy intake vs spacing meals or macros over food sources?
I needed to write another article and I thought it'd be a nice issue to address. IIFYM is not really spread here yet.
Also Ethan WTF is up with your blog lol you haven't published anything in a month. Fuck you.
Some articles on meal frequency and relevancy of eating breakfast. Nothing new, everyone knows this stuff, just wanted to make it readily available.
http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/14513075 Breakfast skipping reduced overall weight in overweight students, with out other variables controlled.
This one is fairly weak as the total intake isn't controlled..
http://www.ncbi.nlm..../pubmed/9155494 This one essentially says that some studies do show an inverse relationship between meal frequency and adiposity, but these studies don't control calorie intake...which is ridiculous...
...and concludes that no studies have ever shown that on controlled calorie diets multiple meals have any advantage over one meal, and in fact, they have yielded the same results. Thus defeating meal timing.
http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/19943985 This is only the abstract. It essentially says, more favorable gut peptide profiles do not exist in higher meal frequencies. Weight loss is NOT enhanced by higher meal frequency alone, and better appetite control or diet adherence has not been shown in higher meal frequencies.
Ghrelin levels also remained unaltered by increasing meal frequency.
