Lets say someone is 300 pounds and doesnt even eat alot to maintain that weight .
3 meals a day at 500 calories each meal
4 meals a day and 400 each meal
5 meals a day and 400 each meal
1 meal a day and 700 calories
Without reading any of the other posts from quite a few of my fave bros in this thread...
I'm going to tell you this ...
Out of the options, without asking for details or being person specific, or medical considerations taken into play .... (ya'll get me...)
If I had to pick one I would say:
NONE
You want to lose weight ...
- Scale Weight? (Heck 2 weeks on Atkins you may see a 20 lb drop then STALL OUT ... mostly water ... adios)
- Fat Weight? (You need to eat often, frequent small meals, every 2-3 hours, get the fire burning ... adjust the cals FROM WHERE YOU CURRENLTY ARE NOW ... If you currently eat once a day, and I aim for 5-6 meals ~ 400 cals a piece... you're going to want to quit before you even start .. and you need to gradually adjust your eating habits ... probably drink alot more water then you are, start with some cardio & work on the weights ... )
- Muscle Weight? (Starve Yourself... muscle catabolism ... not eating enough .. so every thing you DO eat your body says hey, I am NOT getting enough food so what's better to store for this hiberation than the food you to eat as FAT, while I'm going to munch on this lovely muscle until it's gone ... skinny fat .... ala Jared / Subway if you want a mental of pic... )
The more muscle = more cals burned = BETTER FOR YOU AND YOUR BODY ...
