The Meal Frequency Fallacy
New study regarding frequent meals
For decades the mainstream has advocated something dreamt up by the bodybuilders of yesteryear. That something was the concept that the metabolic rate is enhanced by eating more smaller meals, rather than fewer larger meals. In more recent times, some bodybuilders have taken this to new levels, aiming for upwards of 8-12 meals per day (I’m looking at you, Jay Cutler!) Incidentally, I can also only imagine that the “thirty grams of protein per sitting” myth either gave rise to this, or was born out of it.
