days without food would be a little more problematic
In terms of going catabolic? Of for hormonal reasons?
Or is it simply more problamatic due to the mental issues it would cause?

What I am getting at is my father doesn't eat all day and then has a huge meal at night and then goes to bed (does this because he loves supper and doesn't want to eat too many calories a day). Is this fine as the food at night will be burning until the next day's big meal or is breakfast important? What your dad is doing isn't a problem if it results in him being a reasonable weight & body composition.

Would the end product in terms of bodyweight/performance be any different than following the traditional protocol of eating small and frequently every 2-3 hours?
as long as glycogen stores are kept topped up throughout i suspect it wouldn't effect performance too much
of course there's the psycholoigcal aspect of it

if its working...
it's spouted that those regularly eating a breakfast are less likely to be overweight
i suspect it's because they are more likely to be better 'educated' about nutrition, and are more likely to watch what they eat

If you dont believe it then why bother posting it???
I think i have explained this.
quote:
You have also stated in the past you have gone 6 days without food??
Correct?
Yes.
quote:
You ask for facts and then dismiss it.
Im not dismissing anything.
Another useful post.
Well as you seem to have gone without food for 6 days,you should know the effects of what it does and be able to answer your own question,and i will say it again your question was stupid no matter if you were being realistic or not.
And another useful post.
If you go through the thread you will see i have bought more to the debate in discussing matters that are actually possible,you have been told that your question is stupid by other members but continue to debate,i gave you an answer and you still reply stupidly.
Now just stop replying if you have nothing worthwhile to say.

if the total cals are the same,there should be no difference re read the studies i posted,wether your on a cut or bulk its cals in versus cals out.
this thread has gone a bit ott,if you eat two meals a day rather than six,there is no difference because you will still have protein/carbs/fats/ in your system,if your talking about going without food for 40hrs or 6 days you most likely wont.

why is that?
IMO if you eat 500gr of carbs in one sitting at breakfast when your glycogen stores are relatively low after a night's sleep, none or almost none of those carbs would convert to fat as they would be digested over a long period of hours hence providing a slow release of glucose into the blood and into the stores

Are glycogen stores low after sleep? I see no reason why they should be particulary perturbed but do not know any data either way?

not true

plenty of liver glycogen after an overnight fast
only liver glycogen is depleted

would've thought fasting for 7-8 hours would deplete them quite a bit but apparently not
would also depend on the pre bed meal imo

suppose you mean only muscle glycogen is depleted
quickie for you.. when muscle glycogen is empty does the glycogen in the liver gets transported to the muscle glycogen stores as some sort of back up?

Even though your glycogen levels wouldn't be completely depleted it would be lower than other time of day surely.

After 11 pages, Integra's initial query got a bit lost in the noise. To conclude:-
Given adequate protein, EFAs & pre-workout fuelling, meal frequency makes no difference whatsoever to weight, body composition or metabolic rate.
Meal frequency only affects discomfort when bulking and appetite when cutting.
Our bodies can store proteins & fats in the stomach, fats in fat cells & IntraMuscularTriGlyceride stores and carbs in liver & muscle glycogen stores.
Extreme P/C/F splits (e.g. 10/80/10) and meal frequencies (e.g. one meal a week) are not relevant to this discussion.

I think they would go insane with hunger, unless of course theyre body was used to 2 meals a day. Hunger i assume would slowly subside once the body/hormones adapted to this.
