Theres no real eveidence that large infrequent meals will actually reduce health, but htey can increase some risk factors (cholestetol etc but usually in a short period post prandial, which starts getting untidy in the reseach, as with large meals, ilial brake tends to slow things down and make it awkward) and most definately there is not evidence of infrequent meals causing pancreas strain (which is more indicative of obesity than meals per se) or causing diabetes.[b said:
Outside of essential nutrients, then it makes little difference.[b said:
Comparing three diets, all adequate in protein, but the remainder of energy from carbs, protein or fat (one each) there will potentially be a short term (2-3 week) difference, then the results afterwards is pretty much the same, when matched for calories. Eating a diet 100% protien is impossible and impractical for the most part so its not really applicable in that sense.
Free living individuals will tend to eat less on a high protein diet than a low protien diet (cuasing fat loss, not due to the protien, but due to the lowering of energy) which is why isonitrogenous low fat and high fat diets produce no difference in weight loss.
How a diet is actually set up is more applicable to what energy you need (keto tends to suck most of energy), satiety, health, bowel function etc... so a mixture of energy sources are generally required, especially fruits veges and some nice fats.
