To eat or not to eat ...

[Turkish Juicer]

You do NOT have to eat every 2-3 hours to grow.

Supplement industry will advocate otherwise, since producers of proteins and amino acids are well aware of the fact that most people simply cannot afford to eat every 2-3 hours and hence will tend to drink a shake.

Do NOT fall for the ''catabolism argument'' when you see or hear it. Your body will NOT get into ketosis especially if your 3-4 meals consist of slow digesting protein and carbs.

I eat a 12oz lean steak as the last meal of the day. This is usually 2 hrs before I go to sleep. It takes about 10-12 hrs for your body to fully digest and metabolize red meat -meaning constant flow of amino acids in blood stream in this time frame- and only sleep for about 7 hrs. Do the math now. If anyone comes around and tells me that my body has gone catabolic because I did not wake up and drink a shake a few hrs after I went to sleep, I would bitch slap that person for parroting the supplement industry.

As for the delay between meals having an effect upon fat loss, eating every 2-3 hrs obviously has an inhibiting effect as opposed to fasting in between meals.

Now, one may ask why most pro BBs eat every 2-3 hrs. Well, if I were to stay on high doses of every anabolic invented so far throughout the year with a specific goal in mind that is turning into a monster, I too would make sure I eat as many meals as possible throughout the day.

Every nite? Isn't that too much fat even if it is lean?

Yes, every night I eat it up with a large bowl of salad.

Beef fillet is what I eat and 12oz of it has 24gr of ''anabolic'' fat so I don't really see why you perceive this to be ''too much''.

Rest of my fats strictly come from fish oils, nuts, egg yolks and EVOO.

FYI, I have been on a low carb diet for a while by now and I get most of my daily cals from protein and fat, I burn about 600cals on the treadmill ED, lift weights 5 times a week with high volume.

I guess because every time i get BW and my Cholesterol is "high"...Total and LDL., they say..."cut out red meat". I love me some red meat. only about 1 maybe 2 x a week tho.

And there I am again, I had no idea that fat was "anabolic"

If you are genetically inclined to maintaining high cholesterol levels then red meat is not to blame for, but this is something your average doctor just can't understand. Moreover, AAS increases your cholesterol levels quite a bit, although I am not sure if you are regularly cycling with AAS or not.

As for cholesterol being bad, it is the building block of Testosterone, namely the male hormone, which is why it has an important place in BB diet.

Lastly, beware that NOT all fat sources are anabolic. The fat sources I listed above, however, are.
