Article: The Five Pillars of Good Nutrition

There is a small mistake in point 5. Whole grains are starchy. Whole grain belongs in the hierarchy of starchy carbs. U can have whole grain rice, pastas and breads now adays.

Simple and straight forward though. You'd be amazed at how doing those 5 things could change ur results dramatically.

There is a typographical error in the copy as well. the word " rich " instead of " rice " was used in the fifth paragraph, first sentence. You'd think the editors had enough time to edit their copy. Overall, enlightening information. As the saying goes, " Haste makes waste."

No it isnt.

IF does work for fat loss and for a very slow muscle growth if ur hitting the calories and nutrient timing is correct BUT eating every 3 hrs or so is very beneficial to maximizing MPS, something IF fails to do without a constant drip of amino acids during the fast.

For max muscle retention, several small meals is ideal. For max fat loss, but not necessarily the best at muscle retention, fasting works well.

Let's go ahead and accept that IF dieting is ideal for overall health and wellness but if we're trying to pack on 10 extra lbs of FFM every year, we need small meals, lots of carbs, etc. Although it's always a good idea to toggle diets. I'm a big believer in that.

I bought into the naysayers that started popping up all over the Internet a few years ago about eating frequency but the fact remains that I've been the most muscular when I had 5-7 small meals per day. There are too many folks trying to spin 3 meals, 2 meals and 1 meal a day as the ideal method for bodybuilding. For practicality? Sure. For convenience? Precisely. For energy? In some cases. For the best body u can have? Nope.

I'm with you here brother. Hands down my best results rather cutting or adding lean muscle I get from 6-8 meals a day. That being said, obviously the calorie amounts for these meals vary depending on my goal at the time. Non the less for me more frequent meals is the way to go, not just got body Comp for energy levels as well. Great article
