Please have more about this topic in different angles especially fasting safe food
In 2019, I was obese, pre-diabetic, my joints hurt, my feet hurt, and I had no energy. Then I came across a video that asked, "Why do we eat 3 meals a day?", it may have been one of your videos. The video introduced me to Intermittent Fasting. Given that I felt so bad, I figured I should try it. I chose a 20/4 Fasting/Meal schedule, which was a challenge at first, but after just 3 days I realized it was working. After 2 weeks I felt a whole lot better I had more energy and much of the pain was gone. In addition, I was losing weight. It took me over a year to return to normal weight and restore my health. My Doctor was shocked when she saw me.
bravo !
My Great Uncle lived to 97 years old. His advice is to have a Big Breakfast, work hard followed by a small lunch and No Dinner! No snacking!
he was wise & ahead of his time. i bet he was healthier than most people at his age.
My grandmother lived to 92, ate 3 meals a day of whatever she wanted, and never once exercised outside of walking in a store or the yard. Sometimes genetics works harder than anything else.
@@travisn346 mother in law is 101 1/2 deaf all her life & now completely blind as well. same as your grandmother, ate/eats whatever she wants. never exercised & now sits in her chair all day long napping because life is boring when you cannot see or hear. until very recently she has been very with it mentally.
i hope i never get like THAT,though. i love being active & social.
You're grandmas didn't grow up on the terrible non nutritious foods that we have had to, the food back then would of been way better
Your grandmother didn’t eat edible crap from supermarket but proper food from the ground, I guess, and that is another factor.
My exercise routine is heavyhanding, tai chi, and walking my dogs. At 66 yrs old, I am 5'6" and weigh about 135 lbs. I eat when I'm hungry. If I started fasting and eating fewer meals, I'd wind up a skeleton.
When I was Young I Always skipped breakfast before school...until People convinced me its unhealthy. 🙃sometimes you simply have to usw your instincts and dont listen to people. Started fasting again 6 years ago and I feel SO mich better.
Same here.
Same here! Also I was reading an old issue of Readers Digest. An article said we need to eat three meals and three snacks a day 😩
my mom was the same way, breakfast at breakfast hours made her not functional& sick
turns out she was ahead of our time
What was your breakfast though? That probably played a big role in your energy levels
As a child, I wouldnt fast. As an adult, sure.
Appreciate Thomas pumping out videos even while in the farm
If intermittent fasting, the easiest meal to skip is morning breakfast as you can delay it past midday meaning (if you had your last meal at 9pm the previous evening) you'll have fasted for at least 14 hours my noon.
The problem I find with piling too much food into a short time is food combining issues. Fruit seems best left alone, for me. 12 Hour fast is easy for me. 18 a challenge but I eat whole plant based so that helps. Keto seems to work for a lot of people too, so kudos.
Good show. Thank you for the lessons about fasting. Thank you for getting stuck into the papers. Thanks for helping me know what I eat. Thomas.
From Craig. GBR. Mmm steak:)
Excellent, helpful information. Thank you.
I have no appetite in the morning so naturally skip breakfast. Whenever I do eat breakfast (for social reasons, when I’m on a trip, etc), it completely throws me off for the rest of the day!
me too. If I eat breakfast, I want to eat all day, thoughts of eating distract me constantly and my mouth waters like I'm ready to eat *now*, even when I'm not hungry or thirsty. So I find skipping breakfast and not eating until 3 or 4pm, or not until dinner on work days, gives me the biggest piece of mind thru the day.
People who eat breakfast do way better in health studies. Petter Attia wrote a paper explaining why he thinks that skipping breakfast is likely okay and that the reason why breakfast eaters do better is likely due to co-founding factors (e.g., lower smoking rates, more exercise, drinking less). Howver, in this Japan study, they adjusted for several cofounding factors: age, sex, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus Body mass index ,Smoking status . Alcohol status , Education level, Exercise level. Sleep duration, Work - day shift, night shift, or shift work. After adjusting for confounding factors, skipping breakfast significantly increased the risk of mortality from circulatory diseases [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.42] and all causes (HR = 1.43) in men and all causes mortality (HR = 1.34) in women

Erratum in: Yonago Acta Med. 2019 Dec 28;
In addition, in a different 2011 study in Japan,participants who did not have breakfast were four times more at the risk of developing dementia. There was not a lot cofounding variable adjustment in this study though See : Findings from a 6-year follow up(Paper & Abstract September 17th), Japanese Journal of Human Sciences of Health-Social Services, 2011, Volume 18, Issue 1, Pages 102-106, Released on J-STAGE
Wow! I didn't know I was in a group! 😁 I'm doing a 20/4 intermittent fasting schedule with 2mad. I'm also ketovore, and lost 48 pounds in 5 months.I ain't stopping here.😉
Hello from Africa, it's always great to watch your videos, really info,God bless,
I had to watch your video on cardio vs weight training. Thanks
Yet some of us need to. We arent all gym rats. I get dizzy and no energy if I try and fast. Many medical tests later have found nothing wrong with me. Not everyone can fast
IF works for plenty of people, me included. Just because you claim it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't benefit others.
@@Astrum11 as I said… not everyone can.. i did not say its useless
I lost 60 pounds to join the military and intermittent fasting was the key. I started around the standard 8:16 (eight hours of eating, 16 hours of fasting) and graduslly worked all the way down to 1:23 (aka OMAD).
Even in the military I only eat breakfast and dinner. Lunch I often opt to take a nap in my barracks room or my car depending where I'm at.
I do fasting and 3 meals a day.Its all depends how big is meal for example. First meal at 10 protein smoothie. Lunch 2 boiled eggs and dinner small salad with salmon. Last meal at 5.
Oh well, it’s what I like, and what is comfortable for me.
Not every meal is big.
Usually only one BIG meal a day, but I generally eat 2-4 meals a day
I’m 60, good, healthy, not dead.
My dad is 87, on a walking tour of Egypt and Israel right NOW…He eats 3 meals a day, snacks, and has 2 martini’s a night.
So there’s that
❤
That’s a lot of alcohol.
@@kristyboule8768 He jogs everyday, he golfs 3 days a week, he lifts weights
And he’s WALKING through Egypt and Israel at 87 years old.
So what’s your point
🤣🤣 you sound triggered.
@@kristyboule8768 triggered means nothing.
Triggered is a word used when one cannot think of the proper word to articulate the emotion they are thinking of.
My question to you. A lot of alcohol compared to what?
How is it impeding his health or lifespan?
Please, share your knowledge with me.
i hate how fasting has become so cultish. if it’s works for u then great! other people fare well with multiple meals a day.
I absolutely agree on those filet mignons from Butcher Box!!! ❤️
Dr gains pointed out that it matters more when you stop eating vs how many meals you have. He also thinks the only benefit of IF is caloric restriction.
My mil ate two meals per day and never snacked. However, she smoked like crazy and drank sugared coffee and tea all day. She was always very slim, but literally died hooked up to a dialysis machine. Died during a treatment for her failing kidneys due to uncontrolled diabetes.
Had an aunt who only ate every 3 days because she was "morally superior" to the hungry working family she married into. She smoked, drank ice water and died 20 years earlier than her husband who cooked himself 3 squares a day.
Ive always believed this and i dont eat 3 meals a day, and Get told i need to eat more. Also ive managed to build muscle without over eating on callories. Fasting is awesome an at times i feel more focused and fired up. Great video, gakd someone has looked into this. 👌💯🇬🇧
Most of the time a lot of my friends still think eating 6 times a day is best to stoke your metabolism 😂 I try to be a good influence but it’s useless….I have stubborn friends. When you’re on OMAD like I am, they look at me like im insane 😣 it’s honestly sad though because they’re mostly unhealthy and overweight.
It's like looking to the broke homeless guy for financial advice.
I say you are just as much of a idiot as your friends. While 6 meals a day doesn't stoke your metabolism. It is just as successful as fasting when it comes to weight loss. No difference in weight loss between people who eat 3-6 meals compared to fasting individuals. So picky the form of restriction that is best for you. And stop listing to people who say dumb things like if you don't fast you risk overeating.
We all fast every night, then we break the fast {breakfast, called that for a reason}. Talk about divisive, now you can stress out the people who eat three meals a day, and wonder why they leave debated comments, lol. Fasting also lowers blood sugar, which releases stress hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, etc., one of the reasons people wake up in the middles of the night and can't get back to sleep, their blood sugars go down and cortisol goes up. There are better ways to get the benefits of fasting, without fasting.
Had gastric sleeve 8 years ago and hysterectomy 2 years ago. What macros should I be getting with fasting ? I workout 4-5 times a week and cardio or walking the other 2-3 days.
This is so true by fasting I stop myself from overeating and my blood sugar are awesome.. when I eat 3 meals my blood sugars are always elevated no matter what I eat 😮
True for you maybe. But for many all fasting does is get them in a cycle of restriction then binge.
I find eating 2 meals a day helps keep my Blood pressure lower
I just decided to go back to 2 meals today. My gut hasn't been right lately
Same.
Thanks Thomas another good video
More truth from Thomas! Thanks for keeping us educated and motivated, Thomas.
Hi Thomas, I have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump. Could you do a video for fasting for diabetes?
As a person who exercises daily(heavy weights)don’t I need to eat more frequently??
Since doing IF I only need two meals a day. Three meals feels like too much. I don't care if other people want to eat throughout the day. We all do what works for us.
Excellent, as usual. One not insignificant fact was that the study was done of 50,600 Seventh Day Adventist. I have limited knowledge about this faith, but my understanding is that healthy lifestyle is a very important feature.
Great Video!
I'm always confused about the. I want to only eat 2 times a day but if I want to start working out and up my protein, does that mean I need to eat close to 90 g protein each meal? How much protein can your body absorb from a meal? Also goes with other vitamins and minerals. How much is your body and to absorb or utilize from two nutrient dense meals and what is being discarded?
Thomas I think you should give your viewers. What an ideal cycling of IF, to Fasting, to Keto would look like. Depending on fitness, goals, age etc.
Great counterpoint of view!
Hi Thomas I recently found out I am pre diabetic and i also found out fasting can help reverse it but what kinds of fasting
I want to give you a hug and tell you everything is going to be ok in your thumbnail pic
I eat at midnight kinda like ramadan but i would drink water the whole day, i could call my diet ok for me even im going to be chewed up for it but im ok with it, idk when i started doin this but im glad i did this honestly, i do this diet that im used for since 2019, im so used to it that id rather keep this up.
And combining I.F. with a low carb diet makes it even more effective! 😊
Can you do a video of how to safely do fasting and keto while breastfeeding?
You don’t fast while breastfeeding.
In regard to neuroplasticity: Huberman has noted that adults can achieve nearly equivalent levels of neuroplasticity as children by creating strong associations between receiving food as a reward for intense bouts of learning..I can't recall if fasting was required, but I think it was and/or is much more effective from fasted state. I don't think he has gone into details on the evidence for this specifically...But he seemed pretty adamant about this.
I had heard Santarium Foods encouraged eating breakfast first thing in the morning. "The most important meal of the day...', slogan.
I started fasting after I watched a video by Tom about his version of bulletproof coffee. I started making it and I just wasn’t hungry after drinking.
To me 3 meals in a 12 hour window is better than six meals per day. I've also found that 18:6 fasting a couple days per week can be very beneficial.
I have a question- has there been a study on what happens if we eat only when we’re truly hungry? There’s so many different studies to eat this X times a day but why is the hunger signal the one thing we pass over? We don’t force ourselves to go to the restroom. when we are not prompted or to force ourselves to rest when we’re not prompted. I’m just curious. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody talk about that.
There is a whole movement called "Instinctive Eating" that agrees with you.
The reason most people can't do that is because most people's instincts lie. We can't tell the difference between feeling hungry and feeling sad/scared.
Every day as I am driving to my factory job, I get hit with a wave of fatigue, and I feel a strong instinct that the only way I will have energy to work is if I stop and eat lots of meat and cheese.
This instinct is lying.
Every time I eat before work, I feel tired and achy all shift.
Every time I work hungry, I feel energetic and have less pain.
idk.but my grama and her parents ate 3 meals a day and lived functionally untill their 90s
Did your grandparents eat processed food and get vaxxed and boosted 20x as children?
My mother is 91 and she has eaten three meals per day all her life. She eats sweets every day too. I have two aunts, 90 and 92, who have also lived their lives eating three meals a day plus afternoon tea in the mid-afternoon. They aren't overweight and don't suffer from any chronic health conditions.
At lease 16:8 intermittent fasting will be helpful for any human being.
Great counterpoint of view.
Great video
I don’t even have the time to eat three meals a day anymore. The days when I’m “not fasting” I couldn’t get down three meals if I tried.
Since I do IF it's way more easy to keep muscle mass even when not doing any sport. Making it way more easy to control body fat.
We can find many examples wen people eat more then 3 or less and they even live long life without sickness.
I agree the video content anyway!!!
But!!!!
Today there are many diets available which are mostly work well however I personally think this is not the major cause of obesity and health issues.
Causes:
- nutritional deficiencies
- toxicity from food and environment
- inactivity
I only eat between 6pm-10pm each day, and I am in a deficit to help lose weight at the moment. Is this eating routine bad in general ?
Good stuff.
But isn't the total daily calorie intake more important than how many times a day you eat? I would imagine very active people need to eat more than once or twice a day if they need the energy boost to keep going
You're spiking your insulin multiple times a day rather than only once. You must definitely keep track of macros depending on your goals.
@@zanneto why has eating food becomes a most complicated thing in the world? I used to think skincare was complicated now eating food is not as easy as open your mouth and chew there's all these bizarre food rules and food regulations we suck animals don't have food rules
Eating so many meals per day leads to insulin Resistance. This is the reason people in America are getting Diabetes. There is a weight gain component to high insulin levels that the "Fitness community" is oblivious to, this is independent of calories in and calories out.
@@daysoftheboo animals do not have eating disorders, unless of course we domesticate them!
@@mariaelenabartesaghi6322 well there you go animals have eating disorders now
I work for the U.K’s biggest confectionary wholesaler . We’re constantly having free sweets (“candy”) thrusted at us 8 hours a day . It’s like an alcoholic working in a liquor store . The struggle is real .
I can't even imagine!
Well, eating 3-6 meals per day gave me just, fluctuation of energy (insulin), wasting time preparing and eating meals, being hungry the whole day (especially the 6 meals per day), not being able to eat junk food at all or else I would gain fat, mentally lethargic, constipation, acne etc.. now with my kinda Warrior Intermittent Fasting (Fasting during the day, and eating only at night for about 3 hours), I can eat food that I would never being able to eat following a normal diet, not that I eat just junk food, I eat very balanced, healthy and unhealthy at the same time, no more constipation, acne, energy fluctuations, full productivity during the whole day, and so on. So at least for me, Night IF is the solution, not 3-6 meals, and no Early IF either. Just follow what works for you. Best
started fasting 6+ years ago from your vids and Dr. Berg.. is it bad that I no longer crave any foods and never get hungry? Been a gym rat for 15+ years and having a very tough time bulking up just because I don't want to eat, lol~!
I was finally able to put on weight while intermittent fasting. I think it slowed down my metabolism to a healthier level... but I also am much more I intentional about What I eat now also. I focus more on getting protein and fat, and have much less carbs and sugar (especially corn sugars! )
Fantastic video bro 😎
Eating Fewer Than 3 Meals Per Day Can Shorten Life Span, Study Says
In a study of 24,011 US adults over 40, only having one meal a day was linked to a higher mortality risk in general. Skipping breakfast was associated with a greater risk of dying from a cardiovascular disease (CVD), while skipping lunch or dinner was associated with a greater risk of all-cause mortality, including a rise in CVD risk.
There was even a problem for those who ate all three meals but had them too close together. Eating two adjacent meals within 4.5 hours of each other was also shown to be linked to increased all-cause death risk.

I'm sure you're a beacon of health and fitness.
@@Astrum11 Yes, I am. Thanks! In any area of health and fitness. no one should be tied to any dogmatic approach, so that's why I point out counter arguments.
This is a good video that covers some potential detriments of intermittent fasting:
czcams.com/video/G3-EW7nWCbU/video.html
Skipping breakfast can be bad for you. Studies (check out Valter Longo) show longevity decreases the more you fast. In the short term though (a few months) if you have health problems fasting and then very low carbs can be highly beneficial.
Big lunch, smaller night time meal might be the way to go?
Please ask house of macadamia to complete my order. Do you know they are having an issue with orders? Do you even care?
Gout!!! Hear me out. I’ve been fasting for 3 years now. Lost 25 pounds the first 4 months and that’s it. I lift so I gained about 10 back. A year and I half into it I got hit with gout. I’ve had 5 flare ups in the year and a half since and this is with fasting 18-20 hours daily and low carb. I don’t drink alcohol. What gives??? I read that fasting increases uric acid in the blood. I’m not overweight and don’t have other health issues.
Interesting. I hope Thomas response to this and can explain the detail about uric acid.
Sugar causes gout. Get rid of ALL carbs. Not just low carb.
No gout yet, but my uric acid is definitely climbing up on keto which really concerns me.
I heard gout is caused by low potassium .. I may be wrong 🤷♀️
I'd bet you're most likely deficient in something, when doing fasting and eating less you have to consider getting plenty of nutrients and minerals
Why not grass fed salmon? Maybe it just has to be seasoned properly.
Some feedback:
I didn't understand lot of words from this video (for example insulin, bmi and more).
I'm not into analyzing my eating habbits on deeper level, just wondering if it's normal to eat 2 meals per day. So perhaps your followers are more familiar with the words (or just are Native English speakers perhaps?).
Anyways I think you could consider editing in small info boxes with definition for more advanced words in your future videos.
I hope I didn't sound rude and have nice day!
@ThomasDeLauerOfficial did you see Dr. Brad Stanfields latest Review on Intermittent Fasting Science and are you planning on adressing his verdict?
Hey i spoiled my back with a deadlift i might have herniated disc in lower back
Brunch (11am) & dinner (5pm) works best for me. I feel so good.
I don't understand how he can tell people to restrict their calories and he looks like a massive bodybuilder so how does he build his muscle on a calorie deficit ?
he's juiced. Don't let him fool you. Greg Doucette will get him again if he starts screwing up again.
I typically eat two meals per day, 7 hours apart and then one meal a day, once a week to challenge myself. It’s been working great for me. Since I started this a year or so ago, I’ve been getting comments from people that I look fitter that the last time they saw me. No more dad bod. 💪
Hello. I just started studying fasting a few moths ago. I started some intermittent intermittent : D lol fasting in march. 2nd week of April I did my 1st langer fast of 44 hours. Last week I did my longest ever at 67 1/2 hours. I wanted to keep going but was feeling so faint and fizzy. I live alone and did not want to pass out, perhaps hit my head etc, so I broke my fast gently. No issues and felt great after each fast but would like to learn what I need to prevent light headedness alongside fluids...drank herbal teas ie parsely, dill after researching nutrition facts. Ok....the issue concerning me most is -during my 2nd fast- my eyesight became much more blurred than usual and I actually had to increase to a stronger strength of "cheater" glasses for reading and even walking ( daily activities ). I googled and learned a fast can effect eyesight and I think I read that it does not always return to normal ???!!! :o Do you have videos on fasting and effects on eyesight ? Thank you
are you diabetic?
@@james7751 no but had my glucose higher that ever and was flagged in my 2nd last lab work ( had 1 in feb and 1 in March)...last 1 was good though. However- had protein, blood, creatine, albumin in in urine and parathyroid up. Vitamin D has been super low for years ie 47 one time. Thinking I need to invest in trace minerals or electrolytes for fasting though. I am very sendentary due to no people to do things with-would love to exercise if had someone to get out with but also live in nw ont in canada and been 16 winters with no working furnace-freezing...so sit under blankets doing nothing but keeping warm. I am really connecting with-liking this whole fasting thing though. Are there videos on fasting and eyesight ?? ty
I am diagnosed with low thyroid though. saw my endocrinologist after the lab work and before the fast...he said nothing about any of the lab work except the vit D
on day 2 when I felt weak I crush a mag/calc tab and added himalayan salt and parsely and felt considerably better but didnt do that day 3 when I should have perhaps.
I haven't done as long as you have but I have used some electrolyte powder like lmnt is good. It helps replenish the electrolytes that your body has eliminated by only drink liquids. And a good electrolyte powder shouldn't break your fast.
God bless you for this amazing information
During the work week, fasting is not an option. On Saturday and Sunday mornings I skip breakfast. Unless heavy cream in my coffee breaks fast🤷🏼♀️
Any advice for nursing moms who have to keep the calories flowing for milk production to continue? And we are not getting the same quality of sleep as others, so far burning during sleep is not as efficient. Any advice would be amazing, thank you for all you do!
I'd go healthy, whole food keto and only intermittent fast if your body initiates it. On keto, you'll only get hunger signals if truly hungry, not false signals from sugar crashes after high carb meals. Then just listen to your body.
It has been mentioned before that pregnant/nursing moms and kids under 16 shouldn't intermittent fast unless their own bodies initiate it.
My problem with this is i get up at 4 monday to friday i have my supplements walk to the gym for 5 and work out after gym im starving so i eat around 7 then i power walk to work for 8 and im hungry again so i fight it and i eat around 10:30 after that i have a hour lunch so i go for 1 hour walk at lunch come back hungry so i snack ok now its 5 time to walk home im home by 5:40 starving so i cook normally done by 6:30 put son to bed and im asleep by 8:30 pretty much i cant fast its impossible
I F***ing love this guy and his knowledge 👌
I do 6 days of OMAD with 1 day off (eat all day, no fasting), super easy schedule to keep. No calorie counting, no counting macros. Easy.
For those of us who have not studied medicine, what the heck in BMI???
Why everyone talk about weight loss... Can anyone tell something about increasing weight for hard gainers in healthy way...
I only eat one meal a day and I’m still overweight. I have coffee and about 6 Oreos each morning I’ve been doing that for years because I’m hungry in the mornings but I don’t like breakfast foods and then I never have lunch and then I make dinner in the evenings. I don’t fry foods I usually bake or sauté chicken or turkey burgers or rice with chicken potatoes etc. so I don’t know how I haven’t lost any weight over the years. I am a woman 5’7” around 206 lbs. I have been this size most of my adult life. I was a skinny kid and started gaining weight around middle school and went through 6 pregnancies and I gained weight with those the most I weighed pregnant was 279 but I lost that weight and went back to 206 second pregnancy 250 went back to 206 third pregnancy I only gained 7 lbs lost that weight the fourth pregnancy 255 back to 206 fifth pregnancy I miscarried early so no weight gain sixth pregnancy was twins stillborn at 6 month pregnant I went up to 235 with them back down to 206 and still 206. I walk a lot because I don’t currently have a car but I just cannot loose weight? I don’t understand it.
I try for a fast of 12 hours..I can still get 4 small meals in, I digest better when I do small meals.
5:23 The salmon isn't grass-fed!? 😂
What is you are a lean person trying to build muscle
Dam I've been doing it wrong for 70 years .
Me😆 too.
People have interpreted the studies and science all wrong with insulin. Reducing the amount of meals will minimise insulin spikes, but your body will still use the same amount of insulin per day - it’s just spread out.
Sure, you don’t want to eat 10 meals a day, you need to give your pancreas time for recovery and regeneration of insulin reserves - but you don’t need to go as extreme as OMAD.
The main problem with insulin isn’t how much is needed to metabolise a meal, it’s the severity of the spike. High spikes can quickly stress the pancreas and cause blood sugar to measure high, potentially causing damage if it occurs chronically. If you avoid foods that score high on the Glycemic Index, this won’t happen.
Eating baked goods and chocolate all in one go, versus three times a day, sure it may reduce risk of insulin resistance - but the spikes to 100 glucose will still damage the body if you eat this every day. However, if you eat healthy; Mediterranean diet, two or even three meals per day - it’s not going to increase your risk of insulin resistance over eating everything one go. The insulin spikes are very far from 100 glucose, not stressing the pancreas at all.
Good rule of thumb in life = just always go as long as you can without eating. And don’t worry abt specific times or pattern.
How do you call 12 hours a fast. It means eating whole day from 8am to 8pm ! Is it a fast ? Please enlighten me...!
Fasting means not eating. So if someone doesn't eat for 12 hours, they are fasting. It's not rocket science.
3 meals a day, with snacks in between for me, intuitive eating. I cannot actually function properly without having breakfast and become irritable and weak.
Tom can you please comment on the documentary on food “what the health?” What do you think of alll of it
Thanks💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Grass fed salmon the only way to go
I am a 2 meals a day but not really a daily fasting person but it works for me
Omad just makes me feel better in general. 2 meals is fine as well.
If I eat more than once or twice a day I will definitely over eat
How can i get my 140 g protein in 2 meals if I only eat 35 g at once....
Just listen to your body. You don't need to eat exactly 140 g of protein everyday. And what is even worse is stressing about it. My advice is start both meals with protein and eat until satiated. Protein is not only nutrient that we need. If you undereat it for one day it is not a big deal.
same place we've ALWAYS "learn"?! everything.THEY tell us .....
