Official Fitness Thread?

I seen it was recommended one eat 5 times a day
Suppose to speed up the metabolism or something
5 small meals instead of 3 big ones

Since it is also said to be best to eat no later that 8
[or 4 hours before bed]

If you goto bed at midnight
generally you have to fit 5 meals between 8 and 8
[ok I do]
so Breakfast at 8
Lunch at 1
Dinner at 7:30

Problem I am running into is .. I'm not hungry before lunch
[maybe i am eating too much breakfast but it does not seem to be
too much . .cereal . .waffle . .something like that]

Should one be eating every 3 hrs?
8, 11, 1, 4, 7?

yes, eat every 3 hours....you can do light breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner

i do cereal, protein shakes or fruit with peanut butter, lunch, snack same as mid morning snack then dinner. small portions, though. NO big ones.

 

I carry around a bag of BBQ pork ribs and I eat a few every 3 hours.

 

yesterday, i did my lower body(with squats and all) and stairmasters for 20 minutes.

i'm really sore but that means it is working!

 

i think you're overanalyzing it. just remember that as long as your calories out > calories in, you will lose weight. the "no eating after 8" stuff is a myth.

 

you should take some pictures of your butt and post Before and Afters for us. Come on. it could still be anonymous.

 

thats a freaking hilarious idea...but he does have a point.



i got to hit the gym hard tonight. the only curls i have been doing the last 4 days has been 12 ozs.

 

if you would do it, then i would do it.
