Worst lunch ever competition 14:51 - Aug 15 with 13293 views | BrixtonBlue | I win, surely? Today I had two almonds for lunch. Not even kidding. By order of my personal trainer last night, I had to have a big breakfast this morning... and then 2 almonds every 4 hours is all I'm allowed to eat until dinner. I think he might've been on a wind-up. | |

As he said different things work for different people - maybe yours realised a quirky approach was the way to make you stick to it By dedicated gym-goer I was more thinking the 5 time a week, zero body fat gym is life types. I was guessing that wasn’t you but apologies if I’ve got that wrong Yeah I found it generally quite interesting, hence the long post sharing! |
Nah, there's more to life than spending that much of it in the gym! | |

Also I really like eating So for example, today: Breakfast - overnight oats with protein powder, chopped almonds and an apple Brunch - peanut butter and banana wholemeal sandwich Lunch - chickpea and kidney bean salad with quorn chicken and Greek vinaigrette dressing (hello Callis) Mid afternoon - protein shake with creatine (arguably not a meal admittedly) Dinner - brown rice, prawns, avocado, cucumber and chive bowl with sriracha mayonnaise And will have a bowl of cottage cheese with chopped tomato before bed |
If it works for you then great but I think you'll find the 'little and often for metabolism' thing has been completed debunked and there's no need for a constant source of carbs and protein. If you like eating that way then great but if it's a chore, you can safely change your plan | |

From the reading I’ve done I believe it’s very much still a source of debate? I’ve always thought that common sense would indicate as much (eg. Pumping in a steady flow will keep things moving) but even if not the other benefit is it is a practical way of getting lots of food onboard, whereas condensing that into 3 meals would mean being incredibly bloated and then crashing between meals As I said though I like eating, although I will admit the choice of cottage cheese before bed can sometimes feel like a chore! | |
