first of all thanks again for all your great information. Lately, I was wondering what is the reason for you advising strictly against snacking between meals even when the snack does not contain a significant amount of amino acids and thus should not compromise MPS.
I remember that there used to be a theory that you should not spike insulin unnecessarily by eating too frequently in order for your cells to not become insulin resistent due to frequent exposure. But as far as I am aware of this theory was disproven wasn`t it? If so, what is the main reason against snacking if you stay within your total caloric frame and do not compromise MPS by spreading out your protein rich meals 3-5 hours?
There are hormonal, physiological, and psychological processes occurring only during fasting periods and I think obliterating them (for no benefit) should be avoided. I think meals should be discrete feedings separated by 3-5 hours.
Should thinking like sugars and dairy in coffee between meals be avoided as well seeing that it can easily add up to almost 100cal with just a little cream and sugar?
Depends on the context for how strictly I would avoid this, but in general- most folks would be better off if they didn’t add calories to their diet.
Thanks Jordan for your answer. I just thought the theory that frequent exposure to insulin leads to insulin resistence was invalidated. But as you said there seems to be more to it than that.
