    Ur reasoning actually proves against your statement! If u don't eat for a while, ur blood levels will drop, when u eat again, you will spike insulin an blood sugar etc!

    But if u eat more frequently, you will actually keep levels stable! But in saying all of this!

    It's been proven that no matter if u eat 7 meals or 3meals as long as your getting the same macros then there is no significant difference! Obviously there will be practical implications with both these types of eating, do what fits your day best!

    Actually what I read is that ur body gets better and better at things when u do them and one of them is sustaining stable levels of blood sugar without relying on constant grazing and loosing the ability to sustain blood sugar levels by without frequent feeding and all ur system rests more and when u eat it performs optimally..... What do u guys think of that?

    So it's the same with frequent meals, all you need to worry about is cals in vs cals burned! Your body is very good at using what it has, almost all bro science comes from the idea that the body works the same, and doesn't change! Thus is very different to what we see in scientific studies

    This whole insulin spiking thing is far overrated imo. Except I'm breaking the fast with a glass of honey and a bottle of coke of course ;-) with a solid, thought out low gi meal you dont get a Spike.
    Also eating consistently will never give me as stable blood Sugar levels as fasting, how could it?
