7:22 - The Verdict on 3 Meals a Day
People always look so concerned when they learn I eat 1 or 2 meals a day.
Yeah. Resisting all the junk can be hard at times. I only eat twice a day usually, and always have people trying to give me donuts and sweets.
I don't know how much food I've had to give or throw away because I'm trying not to be rude.
They might know some anorexics. Some anorexics will lie about fasting or being vegan to hide their eating disorder.
Same here they look so puzzeled and worried about my health ..

Three meals a day became the norm due to the industrial revolution. Eat before work, take a break halfway through the workday, and eat again after work. This also applied to farm workers. No one cared or even knew about nutrition, metabolic rate, etc..
That made sense as those jobs, well more the farm work, were not sedentary. Therefore, back then, the body needed more fuel. As we know because of labour saving devices and technology being light years ahead in comparison, less food/meals needed, because of the resulting sedentary lifestyles.
Another bogus study!
And now , people don't have time to eat at work😂, so 1 is good
@@klevykids
It’s common sense. If you’re a fat a&&, then you definitely don’t need 3 meals a day 😂
@@rachelsl4492...my father grew up on a farm and it was constant physical work.... they ate three hardy meals a day....but no snacking because people didn't do that way back then. They were all very slim healthy people. It makes sense that they needed to fuel their bodies 3 times because of the exertion of their labor.
I bet it's driven by "hunger" pangs caused by the dependence on sugar.
Or forgetting to drink water
Sugar has 4 calories per gram, I bet most people over consume fat (9 calories per) and just blame sugar, a good example is a donut 🍩
@@GerardoHernandezF87M2Satiety can be much further extended by eating fat and protein.
Eating carbs will increase glucose in your blood, you'll produce insulin to use that glucose, and then when you use up that glucose your brain sends a feeling of hunger. Depending in the form of carbs you eat, you can spike that glucose level and it will crash faster... meaning you're hungry faster.
And the fat-free campaigns have done wonders at demonizing fat more than carbs. So people will eat a snack that fruits if they're healthy minded or chips if they aren't, or a small sandwhich... all of which will have almost zero fat and protein.
Maybe drink a soda while they're at it.
Then be hungry an hour or 2 later
Fat might have more calories per gram, but the feeling of hunger doesn't entirely come from calorie consumption.
From a cut/bulk perspective for gym people, most people will just say during a cut to get used to being hungry all the time. Because fat is pretty much non existent when cutting. It's all veggies and protein and usually rice or sweet potato.
People that vibe with and lose weight on a keto diet typically don't feel the need to eat more than twice a day because they loaded up on fat and protein... no glucose spikes to mess with hunger signals. So even though they eat more fat, they eat less food overall throughout the day.
Truth, carbs and sugar makes us hungry.
@@eatmeatandliftweights5754 not eating makes us hungry, but it would be foolish not to eat protein when you are.
I love coffee in the morning and 2 meals between 11am and 5pm. Very happy and
Healthy ! Thank you Thomas for your wonderful information! God bless! 🙏🙏
Let's be honest.
The "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" trope was pushed by cereal manufacturers and big Ag.
I'm not even hungry until 3 or 4 hours after I wake up. Eating twice a day is enough for me.
Maybe "the first meal is the most important meal of the day" would be a better way of putting it.
@@kondoriono6767 Which is not even necessarily true unless you eat OMAD lol
same, I wake @ 4am and eat around 8:30 - 10AM and again around 5-6:30PM I have never felt better in my life.
If you want to be on a calorie surplus to gain weight, need to eat 4 or more times a day
You can totally get urself in a calorie surplus without 4 meals@abukitty
Just got done watching Jared & Dr Mike work your arms.
That ish was fun 😅
lol I just watched it too
Thomas you are great 👍 got into keto and IF almost done with my 3 day fasting with no side effects whatsoever love your infos!
Your feature on RP was fantastic sir 🤘 thanks for all the wisdom you share 🙏
I've been 2MAD for years... Just based off what my body tells me, not based off a clock or any other "logical" reason.
I also work out in the evenings... Because I've always been a person that is "ready to go" when I wake up, i could exercise... OR i could get my best, most productive work out of my mind. Because I'm not retired, and my mind is my primary asset, it's a "no brainer" -- get things done for the day, eat when hungry (light lunch, no need for breakfast), workout fasted, then get a decent meal in after and don't go to bed hungry (going to bed hungry is the surefire way to guarantee a light, non continuous sleep until next morning)
Great video Thomas!
The term ‘square meal’ is a nautical term of old sailing ships. Any large meal was eaten off a square shaped wooden plate which also served as a tray. Therefore a decent meal was referred to as a square meal. Sorry - Anglo Saxon slang origins fascinate me…..
3 meals a day was healthy when we worked fields etc. Also there was a point in time where the majority of human beings began to appreciate could afford / have access to 3 meals a day.
Don’t forget though, through all this, there have always been people who skipped breakfast and there have always been people who can’t afford 3 meals a day.
There’s so many factors.
Three meals a day was healthy when we ate actual food and didn't snack in between meals.
Agree with this 100%. People aren't doing hard physical labor daily anymore, so their is absolutely no reason for 3 meals a day. I worked retail for 5 years. I moved a lot and was on my feet most of the day, but it worked my mind much more than anything else. Now I work a job where I'm doing seriously hard work daily in the heat and I've been eating 3 meals a day which I haven't done in probably 8 years. I'm slowly gaining weight but I'm almost certain it muscle mass. I still fast on the weekend if I'm not doing anything too laborious. No reason to eat a ton of food if your not exerting a ton of energy!
I eat many meals micro meals per day after doing 2MAD and yes omad ! When I did intermittent fasting 16-24 hours all it did raise my A-1C so much due to raising my freaking cortisol !!!! I don’t eat sugar junk food processed food at all ! I drink water period . Once I started eating 6 micro meals my A-1C dropped to 4.7 …. My gut felt better and I slept well again and inflammation disappeared! I finally started dropping body fat too ! So there’s many ways to eat and be healthy !!!!!!! Calories matter period ! Fasting 16-24 only made me want to binge eat ! I don’t have that urge anymore! More meals for the WIN !
Do you consider studies based on the National Weight Control Registry--with over 10,000 people enrolled over 25 years (average 4,000 people), all of whom having lost at least 30 pounds and maintained that for at least a year (the average is closer to six years)--to be "bogus science"? Because those studies have shown that most participants eat 4-5 times per day, usually quantified as three meals plus one to two snacks), and eat breakfast more than six times per week.
Also, since I can't do without coffee first thing in the morning, and need milk with it, I have to do my intermittent fasting by skipping dinner, not breakfast; and other studies you have talked about show that having meals in the morning might be better overall and that avoiding dinner hours before going to bed leads to better sleep might call for a morning through lunch feeding window. And might it be best if you, say, have an 10-hour feeding window it might do you good to eat at, say, 6am, 10:30am, and 3pm? I, for one, have a really hard time fitting adequate protein an other nutrients in with just two (let alone one) meal--I'm the guy everyone always teases for getting a to-go box with two-thirds of my meal because it takes me the same time to eat one-third of my restaurant meal in the time it takes them to eat all of theirs. I've always been like that, even when I didn't care about my weight.
5 meals a day for me... including 2 sizable snacks. Everyone has their own biochemistry, test it out and see what works.
So 7 meals a day. Sounds like grazing.
@@JasonBuckman It is 5 “including” the 2 snacks… but these 2 snacks are pretty caloric, so I guess they are just smaller meals by volume. And now that I think about it I forgot to count my AM coffee with gelatin - so I guess it is “snack” #6 (bcs it has 10 grams of protein). So now its up to 6 lol.
Delivery to KSA available...? Or it's just within 🇺🇸..? Could u please make video to treat leaky Gut and ibs C via diet+medicines
I eat between 1 or 2 meals a day! Thank you Thomas for your amazing advice
Thomas you should do a video on how little allulose you can use & still stop sugar absorption & also eat nothing else after the snack or meal to see if there is any delayed absorption & also see if you have something later if the allulose is still in effect.
Thank you for making that video you did like a year ago. You are like the only person who has really talked about it.
Thomas has got the "Ozempic face" going
He's fit and lean with alot of muscle mass. Ozempic doesn't give you muscle. Just because you dont want to put the work in doesn't mean every fit person or person losing weight is on it

162cm male here so im already quite a unique profile. Back when I was 18:6 IF I was 58kg, 17% on the BIA. Now I’m having 4 meals a day and 51kg, 10% on the BIA. When I was doing IF, I was also finishing a tube of 15 biscuits and tea with milk and sugar when I broke my fast, scones with jam and toffee pudding as a snack, and my “main” meal would be pasta carbonara. Let’s not talk about drinks and chocolate
Trying to get to the bottom of binge eating. More meals seems to help, but no more than 3 is necessary. With 2 I'm eating so much per meal it's uncomfortable and I need to stop 4 hours before bed or it affects my sleep, but I'm still kind of full after 4 hours!
I like to have 3 meals on lifting days and 2 on rest days (ETRF). It doesn't have to be the same every day.
I’ll never understand people who advocate for breakfast. Anytime I eat breakfast, even if I don’t have any carbs, I’m ready for a nap by noon
Interesting. Your case strongly demonstrates that there shouldn't be such a rigidity in when people (must) eat, etc. I'm finding these days I can only eat two hours after I've woken up. Also I can't have my last meal after 7pm these days.
Huh? I eat a large breakfast with lots of carbs and protein every day and I'm less tired than when I skip breakfast and eat a larger lunch.
every individual built differently
Perhaos you are running on cortisol.
But dr said that its better to take breakfast to help lower cortisol level as fasting in the morning can peak it up. Whats your idea about this ?😢
Do you have issues with chronic stress?
Everyone has a different lifestyle. If intermittent fasting adds to your already chronically high stress levels then don't do it.
You will have to look for, or construct, another diet that works to optimize your system
Fewer meals, not less meals.
A hack I do on the weekend is to get up in the morning, do my cardio endurance fasted and have a couple of large meals to finish off the day. Works good. Get a bit hangry towards the end of the walk though…
Everyone is different. The research averages people out. Are you vata, pita or kaffa in the Ayurvedic system? I tried one meal a day and I lost so much weight my muscles were waisting. I tried two meals a day and was sooooo hungry waiting for my meals and still loosing too much weight because I could not eat large enough meals in those two meals. So I eat three a day. I used to snack all day and eat minimum every two hours (and was still thin), so I think three meals are much better for me than that. My husband thrives on two meals a day. I can't believe he can eat a lunch as big as he does, but his weight is good and his blood sugar is good. We are all different. No one needs to snack all day, we know that much. I only thought I did because I was not eating balanced or large enough meals so my blood sugar would crash and I would snack.
Hello. What is "vata, pita or kaffa in the Ayurvedic system"? Please share how this relates to being fat or being slim with muscle mass and needing or not needing to eat more or less frequently. Thank you in advance.
They are three different body/mind types. If you look it up you will find stuff about it. I am vata so I am slim, move fast, fast metabolism and fast thoughts. A kaffa person is more heavy set, not necessarily overweight, but a larger head and stalkier. They are just as intelligent, but process more slowly, slower metabolism, they are more earth element whereas vata would be more air. Pita is more average and I would say more balanced. It is an ancient Indian system that takes into account bioindividuality more than recent studies that group all these types together. If you do a study and more of the group is of a certain type it will skew the results. There are even different exercises and different healing foods for each. Vata is already dry and cold (prone to dry skin, feeling cold) therefor heal best with warm soft cooked food (no raw diet)! Kaffa is already soft and prone to feeling hot, so crunchy cold food is good. Anyway, I'm no expert, look it up and you will find it interesting.
I have a hard time getting enough protein in 3 meals a day. Not sure if I could do it with fewer.
Eat 3 meals in a shorter window
@@undoctrinati0n pure BS
I somewhat understand why someone has hard time of getting enough protein in. But it is actually not a problem or hard thing to do. Make protein intake the priority of your food. You don’t need a large amount of it anyways. Someone being for example 200 lb and getting approximately 200 g of protein isn’t that hard. Even with one meal. No need to shovel it all in within 10 minutes. Take your time. You can multitask, when you have limited spare time. Watching TV while eating your protein, watching UA-cam while eating, cooking and eating at the same time (sip some protein shake while doing it for example). The list goes on.
@@RaimoTamm 200g protein in one meal isn't that hard?
How does that meal look like specifically?

Worked out fasted after a five day fast, had plenty of energy doing Mike Mentzers method. Fat adapted!
I agree. And my weekly eating pattern would shock you. But, I am also the cook in the house, and my wife has (I guess maybe 'had') diabetes, and there is no one else to worry about.
My entire life, even as a child, I have never been hungry in the morning so breakfast was always a meal that was kind of forced on me. I stopped regularly eating breakfast when I was 19 or so and felt better almost immediately (and my triglycerides went way down)!
I eat a cottage cheese dates meal inbetween my two meals for protein synthesis
i used to only eat one meal a day but now i eat two because i recently found out that You can only absorb approx 30 grams of protein per meal. and many nutrients also can only be absorbed by so much before they cap out. so in order to get my full daily recommendation of macro & micro nutrients, i have to eat at least two.
What happens if people are eating over their maintenance levels and those extra calories are staying on as fat. I cut my meals down to two per day and I have stayed at my healthy weight ever since. I'm never going back to 3 meals a day
It's the easiest way for me to do a cut, to just delay breakfast until lunchtime. I'll do it about 5 days a week only on a cut, which is about 3 times a year for me. But yes, the drinkers are hungover and so they don't eat 3 meals a day
My problem is trying to balance intermittent fasting and getting 200 grams of protein a day
I have eaten one meal a day for as long as I can remember. I am not hungry and don't need snacks. You just get used to 1 meal or three. It all depends on the amount of calories you need and what you take in.
You have to realize an ad agency for Kellogg came up with breakfast most impt meal of the day. And for much of the 19th century people had manual labor jobs. Even housework was manual labor my grandma scrubbed the floor in her hands & knees, she used a washboard to wash clothes until she got a wringer washer, she used a carpet beater, she baked bread, killed the chickens for dinner & worked a full time job. Even with automation farming, steel workers, assembly line were hard work. So these ppl needed a lot of energy. Desk workers don’t need as much & they still stuck w the message that you need breakfast
I work in a restaurant as a server.People LOVE their food.The more meals people eat the more unhealthy they are.
The number of times people confuse common cause with correlation is truly amazing.
Sugar is dead to me. I’ve managed to avoid it long enough that it’s sickly sweet if added. Took almost a year of avoiding sugar to get to this stage. Don’t give up, you can also defeat the sugar cravings in time.
Grocery stores, food manufacturers, and kitchen appliance manufacturers gotta get paid.
The problem is very simple. If you weigh 180 lbs and you workout you need 180 grams of protein daily. It's hard to get that much protein in 1 or 2 meals. At least it is for me...
your body can only absorb approx 30 grams of protein at a time. many nutrients also cap out at a certain amount. i would prefer one meal a day, but our bodies literally don’t work that way.
@@LaciRaeThomas has videos that prove this theory incorrect. If this were so, many would be extremely protein deficient. Especially those that only eat 1 or 2 times a day. Also, a 5ft person and 6ft person need drastically different amounts of macro nutrients so a blanket statement of 30g of protein in one sitting is not logical for a metabolically healthy person. I am just making a statement and no offense is meant.
@@kellbell9172 even if the “30 gram protein theory” has been proven wrong, many micronutrients are said to work the same way. & micronutrients are extremely important for the function of your entire body, mind, & even well being. i went from one meal a day to two because of this reason.
Your not up to date and that literally dosnt make any sense if you think about it historically. You can eat how ever much you want, your body will use it. @LaciRae
@@Nick-gg6tg my previous comment was auto deIeted, as usual. but i said, even if the 30 gram “rule” was somehow disproven, many micronutrients are said to work the same way. like calcium, for example, can only be absorbed by approx 500 mg at once. so trying to get your full daily intake in all at once will make You deficient.
Amazing how you talk of such high meal frequencies and likely with snacking. I eat 250 meals a year; 99% being beef.
I hate intermittent fasting or eating only 2 times a day. Iove food, healthy delicious food and happily eating 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks and watch my calories, do quite a lot of sports and am healthy
I love the feeling of hunger. Knowing most people cant go a hour without eating or snack
I just don’t know.
I’ve lost so much more weight by kind of grazing throughout the day. 90lbs now and my lifts are stronger than they ever ever been in my life. OMAD and IF never did it for me.
I agree ! Same thing happened to me ! Smaller frequent healthy meals work best for me !
I'm the worst example of healthy eating, but even I get the snacker/ non snacker dichotomy. Snack foods are almost all carbs - grains or sugars. If you weren't previously a snacker you weren't accustomed to eating those "snack foods". If you're forced to switch, what are you going to do, eat more steak? That's not a snack!
This reminds me of the Thomas Sowell clips where he makes a point of qualitative polling, because without an appreciation of nuances there cannot be relatively better data analysis. This is the linchpin for what the fitness and wellness industry needs more of, the white papers are catching up slowly, but not without certain industry executives puffing up the lot of them with poor studies to hide their evils.. good rant TD, another Thomas with ethical grounding indeed.
So much speculation? Just start intermittent fasting and persist in doing it in a way that is easy for you. Your body will automatically, though gradually, evolve in what is best for. I have been doing this for many years in this simple way viz. After my last meal for the day I do not eat until the next day and then only when my body ask for it. Without planning or forcing it I now am on OMAD. How do I know what works best? I just observe my own body's response without listening to 100 sales pitches about 100 different studies.

Exactly. Doesnt matter how many times or when
@@timothykowalewski3943
Actually, the time window and the frequency don't seem to matter, but there does seem to be a small benefit to eating more of your calories early instead of late.

It does matter. Large meals can cause discomfort, nausea and indigestion, increase sluggishness and fatigue.
@@xnoreq well if ur too dumb to know not to over stuff yourself I guess you have a point
No. Back in the days when we were eating only at meal times 3 times a day, we were a lot skinnier. It's not an iron-fist schedule for everyone, but it was working for most since we have food readily available in modern times.
2mad works great
Even with just one meal I think it’s too much.
I eat 4 meals a day. If I want to snack I eat some of what I would be eating at my next meal.
The digestive system needs rest
Since the eating 3-6 meals per day started, is when obesity started, just see the kings, emperors, and "nobles" who were the first one that started that thing. Anyway, good workout today there with Doctor Mike.
That's not because of number of meals or frequency but because of the increase in calories.
You can eat 3 meals and even have snacks and still lose weight.
also when you ingest alcohol you ARE eating. alcohol has decent calories, and when you start making fancy drinks, it can reach almost 600 calories with the 'white russian' drink. so unless its water you are drinking, drinking = eating.
Also someone who is overweight and self-conscious of their weight might be more inclined to lie stating they ate less than they actually do. Not because they want to pretend they eat less, but simply because they don't want to be judged or feel like someone is judging them.
I know the reverse of this. I have a friend who is extremely skinny. He never finishes his meals (never) and when he goes out to eat, him and his wife share a meal (even salad - I mean who splits a salad?). On a regular basis he claims he eats 5000 calories a day. I am talking someone who at almost 6" has to buy his pants in the boys section because he is so skinny (and I'm not exaggerating here). There is no way (no matter how high his metabolism is) that he is eating 5,000 calories a day.
My friend is active (plays pickle ball daily), but he's not running 10 miles daily or riding his bicycle 20 to 30 miles a day. However, he is (or his wife at least is) very self-conscious of how skinny he is and therefore they lie (not to deceive mind you) that he eats 5,000 calories a day and claim he has a very high metabolism. I've spent the whole day with them and I can tell you that he probably gets less than 2,000 calories a day on a regular basis. All that to say that self reporting shouldn't be considered in a study, but it has to be on a controlled environment or monitored in some way.
Most people eat all day.. if you eat 2-4 times a day you’re doing great..
I do two meals a day and avoid snacks, people think I am strange. Most people don't just get three meals a day, they have 5 or 6 if you take into account all the snacks. And many graze all day, When I was high carb I was grazing all day and always hungry.
Blood sugar crashes if your a little diabetic if you dont eat every 4-5hrs. This backs up 3 meals being good for some people
Nope, I'm a diabetic, I eat mostly OMAD and perhaps 2 on occasion. I adjust for what I eat with insulin. I am not over weight, and very healthy. Do fall for the ADA lies, doctors rely on pharmaceutical companies and dieticians who are funded by them.
most actors ate 5-6 times per day to actually get fit enough to perform their designed characters, so idk what to believe.
*AHA* encourages it
IT IS ALL RELATIVE! IT DEPENDS ON YOUR OBJECTIVES WHAT YOU DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT, WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOUR BODY NEEDS! IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH CALORIES, SIZE OF THAT MEAL AND QUANTITY OF EACH MACRONUTRIENT AND OTHER NUTRIENTS YOU BURN, USE TO REPLENISH. ONE OR TWO OR MORE MEALS FOR SOMEONE MAY BE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CALORIES WITH NO GOOD NUTRITION. OTHERS INGEST NEAR OF WHAT THEY NEED FOR OPTIMAL NUTRITION. THEN THERE IS ABSORPTION AND UTILIZATION. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE EVER. A CAR IS A CAR BUT WORKS DIFFERENTLY, PERFORM DIFFERENT AT EVERY STAGE IN THE BEGINNING, DURING AND AFTER THE SAME EXACLY ROAD, SPEED AND DISTANCE..EVEN THE SAME CAR YEAR MODEL AND BRAND MAY PERFORM DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHAT IT ALREADY DID WITHOUT A TUNE UP (AS IN HUMAN HEALTHY LEVEL)
Take his advice lightly please. These videos can be useful buuuut for someone recovering from an ED/anorexia, having one or two meals is not optimal for caloric intake and stuff like this can scare anyone recovering from nourishing their bodies
Man 3 works so well for me as someone who wants to build muscle. 3600-4K calories a day maintains me
That must get expensive..
@@undoctrinati0n Nonsense. Food is cheap. 2023 saw THE MOST abundant global excess food production in human history. The USA has CURRENCY troubles. Food commodity prices are plummeting. Buddhists advocated eating 1 meal a day starting around 500 BC. Factory foods are disgusting. WHAT we eat matters right alongside HOW OFTEN we eat. Those go together. Never eat anything bottled, packaged, wrapped, canned or boxed. Skip all foods advertised "on TV." Make everything at home from scratch. Orthodox Christians fast on Wednesdays and Fridays. TV-Americans are never "normal." They are abnormal. Few Americans KNOW anything about "the past." Dumb TV myths never "teach" anything about "the past." Nothing. Knowing requires reading nonfiction books. Most Americans never do that.
@@undoctrinati0n yep. But I don’t have many expenses so I don’t mind putting the best foods I can to use. I think it’s about 30 dollars a day. Not too bad
@brandonyoung4910 it's worth it if you don't have much expenses then
There is quite literally nothing wrong with eating 3 meals a day either.
Only in America
We're fat. Solution: Eat more food
We have too much gun violence. Solution: buy more guns.
Honestly I don't even know how we are the most advanced country in the world.... 🤦♀️
How did people eat prior to 1975?
Should also consider, though, how much smaller people have been historically than we are now. Let’s don’t be so arrogant as to believe we who are doing an abysmal job of taking care of ourselves (as a whole) have the nutrition thing all figured out.
What do you mean by smaller? Like, shorter? Apparently average Neanderthal male height was 5'5" or 5'6", so maybe a few inches at most compared to males today?
@@TyroPirate Not shorter. Smaller. If you’ve ever seen clothing from just one or two hundred years ago, you can see that people were smaller - meaning not as large. I don’t mean height and I don’t mean Neanderthals although it’s always amusing to me that they tend to be mentioned in this type of conversation.
@jeneeday3110 I went with Neanderthals because that seems like a far enough time period to make certain claims about humans from an evolutionary perspective... 50,000 years ago?
If we're just talking about people from ancient Rome 2000 years ago, Egypt 3000 or something? The start of farming 10000 years ago? The last ice age, 20000?
At what point between Neanderthals and modern people are we talking about with this size comparison?
I do one meal a day.
Still, theres nothing wrong with eating 3 meals daily as long as one realizes the need for over 100 g. protein daily and how eating affects insulin. As long as you go 4 hours between meals hormones can stabilize. Hardworking men, the elderly, teens, and pregnant women may need 3 protein rich meals per day for fuel. By speaking negatively about the 3 meals this can play into eating disorders especially with young subscribers here. Everyones body is different.
Why is 3 meals a day bad? The diet culture is so obsessive. You can eat 2 meals and eat junk. What are you eating? That’s the bigger question.
Imagine if your parents knew the truth when raising you, or did they but thought they couldn't do anything about it. Kids are like pets, caregivers feed them food from bags and boxes so much easier because kids are a chore those little @#%$. Look at baby formula synthetic processed milk substitute, that's messed up and that is my opinion after 4 years experience eating 95% non-processed whole foods and changing my health significantly; the mother of my child must use her perfectly balanced bio-available life serum to give the kid the best chance in this world.
It's bothered me for years. If you look at history, how is it even possible that humans ate 3 meals a day. Food was NOT that available unless it was seasonal fruits 🫐 🍓 🥭 🍌 🤔 also, humans are omnivores by design. Less is more, fasting gives the body's organs a well deserved rest.

“200, 300, 500,000 years ago.” Thomas, I so hope that you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and be born again. The life we live now is not even piece of sand on the beach, when compared to eternity. 🙏🙏🙏
As long as your counting your macros I don't see what the difference is.
There's an extreme amount of chemistry that happens in your body. That changes how you feel based on both micro and macro nutrients, the frequency of your meals, the size of your meals...
If I eat 120g of protien, 100g of carbs, and 80g of fat... (let's say by, chicken breast, rice, and a stick of butter) in one sitting, and that's the only meal I have for the whole day...
I'll survive, but I doubt I'll be at all happy throughout my days on a diet like this. It's also missing pretty much every vitamin and mineral under the sun, so my body will hate me very quickly
