| Again Tony, you are looking for one study. I provided a few. I do have more, I will dig them up. But as I said before, when science doesn't match real world results, you don't throw out the real world.
Plus, you are going to have a hard time finding ANY studies that deal with populations that you and I are interested in.
I've worked with a lot of people. I am sure you have too. Test it out yourself. Eating 3 opposed to 5 or 6 doesn't make a great deal of difference, as long as you account for proper cals, proteins, efas, and micros. None actually, that are measurable that I have seen.
I know JB is a huge fan of multiple meals, and truthfully.... so am I.
Lyle, on the other hand, is not. Well, he agrees with me. Or I should say I agree with him, that TEF has little impact on overall metabolic rate. |
