    diet alternitives

    Hey wuts up ive been doing the diet from the cutting sticky ad follwing it pretty strictly and it wokrks pretty well. I have a few questions about it that diet is based on the 6 meals a day high protein and low fats high in efas. My only question is is there any theorys that 3 meals a day works better. For example 3 meals with the equivelent of all these nutients by them taking at the right times. Otherwise is there ever been reason to think that 4 meals is a better alternitive. Because i understand how food absorbs and it is possible to eat every 2 hours or so but the 6 meal a day is just a theory for a body building diet. Just like the atkins if for losing weight, although some may not think its a good diet it is still followed by some. so do any bodybuilders advocate or believe in eating under 6 meals. Or is the standard to eat 6 or more for bodybuilding purposes and if anyone knows give some examples, thanks alot

    6 or so meals a day is for bbders. to keep the protein flowin and the metabolizm goin. also, if you are eating clean it is hard to get enough protein and calories squished into 3 meals a day without puking and mixing fats with carbs...

    You can only absorb/utilize so much at once w/out the excess being stored as adipose tissue or excreted, neither of which help to sculpt a physique.

    Short and sweet: The atkins, zone diet and the south beach recommend eating 6 meals a day...
