+ 2 "Clean Eating" How important is it really?

ad

The title could be a little deceiving but I found this article and thought it would be a great read for beginner/intermediate people looking to gain muscle mass and/or lose body fat, but maybe do not quite understand the diet aspect. Might not be too interesting for advanced people but I think it would be a big help for anyone new to bodybuilding as the author does a very good job of explaining things in a succinct and easily understandable way.

I'm sure any questions regarding this will be met with plenty of helpful answers for anyone new looking to learn. Cheers

Well for me I require 350-400 grams of protein a day. Eating all that in 3-4 meals seems like the body wouldn't be able to utilize all that protein at once and would be a waste. So breaking it up intp 6-8 meals a day gives my body a chance to use most if not all the protein.

That's a good point. I suppose all the author can do is make a general point as it is probably unlikely to make one blanket statement that automatically applies to everyone. I'm actually with you on this, because my schedule makes it hard for me to fit in the calories that I need to and I get food coma easily too, so if I eat too much in one sitting then I become f'ing lethargic for an hour or two and I'm thinking my body is having trouble processing too much at once

Thanks for sharing!
Always thought more smaller meals throughout the day was most ideal for fat loss, seems like this was a myth

Yeah I think if you asked most people that would be their general answer but just goes to show it's good to keep on things cause they're always discovering something new/different.

Good to see some diet talk again, so much of it being just aas and more aas instead of the most important part of the equation. Decent read as well. Keep up the research. X2

Much appreciated mate! Yeah I thought it would be helpful to anyone (particularly new guys) that actually takes the time to read it. Doesn't look like many did...lol...but if even one or two people get something out of it...
