The 2016 Way Less Objectivity thread

Went for a jog/run this afternoon.... What a k** idea that was in this heat. Any way still counts as exercise, tonight shall be chicken breasts with butter beans and vegetation. Skipped lunch today so I may might have a beer as well?
 
As a food lover and someone who plans to exercise a lot, Im a bit reluctant to follow a strictly LCHF diet so this looks good
to try.

Why do people still recommend eating 6 meals per day? Ugh. I thought that piece of "wisdom" had died already.

The only time it makes a difference is if you eat protein at very meal, because it will lead to increased muscle synthesis. For everything else, its better to eat fewer meals per day with larger gaps between them. Better for your insulin resistance.

Meals 2, 4, 5 are usually light snacks/ fruits/ drinks. Most people snack in - between anyway, you're just doing it with healthy stuff.
