I just caught an email from a nutritionist comparing the benefits of a structured meal to grazing
The info was solid enough
But it’s got me all “triggered” and the like
You see, in his comparison he used different food sources
Different calories
Different protein amounts
Different levels of fibre
Never listed carbs or fats
And did I say, they were just “different”
Does that matter?
Yes, it does
It’s like comparing the fuel efficiency of 2 cars with one being electric
With different selections, energy densities and satiety values, you are going to get a different outcome
So, what’s my opinion: team grazing or team structured meal?
Do want you want, if it satisfies your goals, preferences and lifestyle
Me, I’ve eaten 6 meals per day for the last 20 years
Why? I would much rather less food over more meals throughout the day as I personally hate that full, boated feel…
And I know people who don’t want to leave the dinner table unless they have to be rolled away
Yes of course, there are “better” ways of doing things to optimize your results (ie if you trained first thing in the morning, Intermittent fasting probably isn’t the best way to go…)
But ultimately it comes down to finding what works for you so you can make it part of your long game
If you want to bounce some ideas back and forth, you can always message me direct and I’m sure we can come up with a sustainable plan of attack that works
