that same theory tells us that our bodies adapted to eat as much food as possible in one go and store what it didnt immedeately require as fat. Then use as little of that fat store as possible because we didnt know when or where the next meal was coming from.
So if you continue to eat like that, then you will store fat. Once fat accumulates, it is quite hard to shift.....its designed that way for survival.
Eat more than you burn and you will gain; burn more than you eat and you will loose. That is the fundemental understanding of wieght gain/loss. However, our bodies were required to complicate the issue by for survival purposes.
By eating smaller meals more frequently, you will not be providing the body with such an excess of nutrients and thus less fat storage. Furthermore, if inadequate nurient supply is the rate limiting factor in hypertrophy, then a constant supply of nurients throughout the day will solve the problem.
Maybe restless is right? maybe im right? try both ways and see? In short, science is constantly leading us to new discoveries and oftentimes provides us with useful insights, BUT there are many things it has not yet fully explained. Especially those mechanisms of human functioning ie hypertrophy and nutritional pathways. Science is guiding us to the light, but we have not arrived yet.
