3 solid meals???

[Turkish Juicer]

I've been reading about nutrition for more than 10 years now and expierinced guys tell u to eat 6 meals a day bla bla bla...
But more expierienced guys (nutrition scientists and writers) tell u to (intermitted fasting.. 3 meals a day....bla bla)
What do u guys think would be the long term difference on body composition
From say a diet 250c 250p 50f on a 12% bf 170 lbs 5'7 person (in this case me)
Over 5 meals vs 3 meals with exact same food???
I'm no bodybuilder I train crossfit and care about the way I look and don't mind an increase in lean body weight but don't need to bulk I like my size....

You are eating more protein than you need to, considering your stats and the fact that you are not intended to juice and bulk.

so tell me,why OP eat too much protein?
170 lbs require 250g p is fine no matter bulk or cut or juice up.

IMO

Many people are accidentally following pro bodybuilders route.
Not everyone 250lbs and lean,you do not need 400g pro per day,and not all the people do not go to work,6 meals a day is crazy,and unconvenient.
pro bbers eat 6 meals per day,because they can not finish all the foods if they eat 3 times a day.force feed is pain.

so reach your cals
then
3 meals g2g.

Agreed. I don't think the bold is the ONLY reason, but definitely one of them.

General rule of thumb - 1.5g protein/lb of LBM is my protocol. At times a bit higher (2g max) but no lower, just not necessary. Too many people base their protein needs on total body weight which is a mistake. We shouldn't be taking bodyfat into account when calculating protein requirements, as bodyfat does not require protein to 'live'. I see so many people eating tons of protein and not enough carbs and fats... and wonder why they're not growing.

Thank you for doing the job for me, as my response would have been pretty much the same.
