A lot of myths running around about protein absorption in the comments. Guess I'll be tackling that very soon!

@acoolguy6524 7 лет назад

PictureFit please tell us how fast different protein is absorbed: eg - fish protein is absorbed in #/h, egg white protein is absorbed #/h, etc. Also, please, tell the people that our bodies do absorb all of the protein we consume, and there is no boundry. A caveman didnt eat as often as we do today, so his body had to absorb all of the nutrients, until he finds food again.

@DANGJOS 7 лет назад

a cool guy I don't think we absorb all of the protein we eat. Different proteins have different digestibilities. Nuts, for example, have low protein digestibilities. Shelled hemp seeds are higher, and most meats are very high

@KR33P 7 лет назад

Looking forward to it, especially the part with "you can only absorb around 30g of protein in one meal".

@UncleJefff 7 лет назад

PictureFit yeah thought this aspect would be answered late in the vid, but guess we'll have to wait a bit for that one ;-). Personally I enjoy just eating two meals a day when cutting because I just enjoy the volume and feeling full rather than feeling a bit hungry but always. Mentally it's just for me. Cheers for another great vid picturefit! Bell crew in.

Eat 3 meal a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and add 2-3 snacks in between around 100-150 calories). Depend on your goal snack ideas can be protein shake, apple , banana , yogurt , fruits, nuts etc

@Afarhan77 7 лет назад

Thanx for the great content and info you provide in a very nice way. You'll reach 1M subs before the end of the year hopefully;

@o_o-037 7 лет назад

If you exercise whilst fasting, you can start to see results in a month or two. An average human can survive for 1 month without food. And funny thing is, the more you fast, the less hungry you will feel in the long run, whether or not you exercise. But if you really want that 6 pack, then exercising whilst fasting can do more for you in the long run. Eat just once or twice a day, within a week, you won't even feel hungry whilst fasting. Even if you hear your stomach rumble, the feeling of hunger will just go away soon after. Long term planning, folks.

@elvintp10 6 лет назад

It purely comes down to how much food you can consume in one sitting. Some people can't eat very much in one meal so they'll need to eat more frequently to meet their macro nutrient requirements and no, I'm not going by the whole 1g of protein/pound of body weight rule.

unless you are a professional BODY BUILDER, ONE OR TWO must suffice!! more meals do not increase your metabolism! thank you for clarifying that!! RESPECT

@PetroDobrynin 5 лет назад

More smaller meals a day is a good thing for your health, you're not overloading your digestive system, your stomach shrinks, you stimulate bile flow from your gallbladder which decreases chance of stones forming. Just take what you would normally eat in 3 meals and eat the same amount in 6 meals. Or maybe get creative, instead of eating full plate of pasta, eat half of a plate and on the other meals, eat something else, in half quantity of that you would normally do. As for the weight loss, I think it would not be because of the metabolism increase, it's because on 6 smaller meals you will feel less hunger and not turn what supposed to be 3 meals a day, into 6 meals but with added snacks between 3 full sized meals.

@amsd1231 7 лет назад

Personally frequent smaller meals lets me not crash an hour after the meal. If I eat 2~3 big meals I get groggy and tired after the meal. For me at least, smaller meals helped me stay consistently energized throughout the day without needing to take a nap every time I eat.

@erickcalisthenicschannel555 7 лет назад

Age and lifestyle also plays a key role to how many meals a person should take. As a person with a higher metabolical rate, I rather listen and feel what my body tells me and weight the decision then cuz that works for me. Love the vids tho, very insightful!

@FawadBilgrami 7 лет назад

The important point is, waiting for longer periods often makes people eat bigger portions. Personally it worked for me more than 3 meals a day.

@oneluv11 7 лет назад

How about the times you eat (ie., just before bed, 3 hours before bed, nothing after 6, etc) or best time to eat carbs if eating carbs (less than 50 g for fat burn?)...etc

Occasional fasting is good for the body, unless you're diabetic. People who eat one meal a day swear by the benefits. It's not for me, but I will fast for a day once in a while just because I know my body was naturally designed to deal with lean times.

@damiankomonicki1236 7 лет назад

Hi PF! I have a question for you. I try constantly to improve my diet, but there's one thing that doesn't allow me to sleep at night... Bread. Where I come from bread is so so important, and I just can't stop having bread. Impossible. But I've heard different opinions on it. You know - only white bread is bad. Or that rye bread is better than wheat bread. All this information on the web is confusing. And even about grain products in general. Is flour bad for my diet? I don't know... Anyway, thanks for your videos! Great work!

@mali15j 7 лет назад

Nice. Thumbsup for your effort for discrediting this myth:D I tried practising frequent meals on myselfxD 5 meals vs 3meals previously(trying to keep total calorie intake same) and i gained weight. My assumption is increased frequency of insulin release with frequent meals, and insuling is one of the hormones associated with increasing muscle mass but also fat. Havent found much evidence on it tho so far. I would appreciate if you know any researches regarding this.

@je1465 7 лет назад

I don't get it, isn't a meta analysis taking a bunch of studies and deciding what is the most accurate conclusion? If so, why would they choose one study that's goes against all other studies's conclusions?

@alex_the.mallett 7 лет назад

I know this video is mainly about losing weigh by eating more often, but I think eating six times a day is bigger with the professional bodybuilders and strength athletes that eat thousands of calories a day. It's harder to eat so much within three meals when you could split the total amount into smaller more frequent meals. In the case of Thor Bjornsson, he eats roughly 10,000 calories a day when he's prepping for a contest. It would be pretty hard to eat about 3,300 in three meals. It's easier to split it up into six or more meals

@PictureFit 7 лет назад

Yes, that has more to do with eating preferences. Nothing to do with metabolism or increased absorption.

I read a book by a fitness guru, talking about this Japanese boxer study and believed whole heartily that I should eat 6 small meals.
