Why 6 meals a day?
Three Meals/Day: Three meals per day elicits a roller coaster pattern where nutrient availability and insulin levels rise and fall sharply throughout the day. These peaks and valleys may be a factor in recurrent hunger, decreased energy, and greater accumulation of body fat. Further, eating only three meals a day leads to prolonged periods of amino acid deficiency, which may sacrifice hard-earned muscle mass. Six Meal/Day: Fueling the body regularly with this plan promotes healthy blood sugar levels allowing for a more consistent insulin level, as well as providing muscles with a steady stream of amino acids for greater protein synthesis. This ensures that nutrients are absorbed and processed more efficiently, elevating the metabolism, sustaining energy, and improving body composition. High protein-low carb meals provide a comprehensive convenient and economical tool you can use day in and day out to provide your body with the nutrients you need for your active lifestyle.
