John,

Sorry but the science just doesn't support your view.

You can go 36 hours without food (MUCH longer than I would ever recommend) and your metabolic rate won't slow down one bit. In fact, you will actually see a slight increase in metabolism without food … because … your body starts burning body fat for fuel.

Makes sense doesn't it?

Rubbish,

Part of the theory about the 6 meals is that you body has a limited amount of time to burn calories before they turn to fat…the less calories it has to burn each time means it’s far less likely that they will turn to fat. If you eat more often it keeps your metabolism constant and stops your body going into starvation mode causing it to hang on to whatever you next put into it.
I like the attemp to disprove the theory but you failed in my opinion and anyone looking to stay lean should ignore your theory.

Hey Caleb,

Love your site…quick question: some of us ladies who need to eat 1200 calories a day to maintain body weight are confused as to how much we should eat if we’re trying to lose fat and gain muscle…any tips on where to start?
