Call me crazy, but I don't like to eat all day! Seriously...who came up with the idea to eat six meals per day?
Now...I understand the logic behind eating six meals per day. It supposedly increases the metabolism to help the body burn body fat. I also know that it helps maintain muscle mass, so that you burn more calories all day long, etc.
Here is the ironic thing about this diet plan...It looks good on paper, but rarely works as planned.
Everyone that I know who follows this plan just uses it as an excuse to eat all the time. It kills me! I am completely ripped year-round and only eat 2-3 times a day max. I love it when out-of-shape people try to give me advice that I should eat more often to boost my metabolism. Well if it works so well...why are they still flabby?
I'm convinced that it is extremely hard to keep the calories down if you eat so often throughout the day. I am also convinced that "the more you eat...the hungrier you get".
A great and basic way to stay lean is to burn more calories than what you ingest each day. I think it is MUCH easier to keep your calories low if you only eat a couple of meals per day -vs- eating every few hours. Also...I'm not afraid to get a little hungry. My body looks its best when I exercise on an empty stomach.
The nice thing about going a long time between meals is that you don't get that sluggish feeling from eating all the time. I'm not the only person who shares this opinion. There is a gentleman by the name of Ori Hofmekler, who has a book called the Warrior Diet. His diet is based on eating one meal per day! Before you laugh, you should know this...he is more ripped than 99% of the personal trainers who recommend the six meal per day plan.
So although the six meal per day diet plan is popular, I don't think it is the best way to get lean.
