And this is the best designed study to date on the topic.

Whenever we talk about any kind of physical goal, any sort of fitness goal,

we have to address two main things.

So who's the population and what goal are we talking about?

And maybe a third thing we need to address is what is at stake?

So what level are we talking about?

So population, goal, what level?

What's at stake?

So with bodybuilders at elite levels,

It is, most of them consume five, six meals a day.

Some of them do like even seven or eight in the off season.

And these are individuals who are enhanced.

And so their ceiling for muscle growth and their rates of muscle growth are significantly higher than people who are in quotes natural.

And the amount of food that these individuals can process and use productively is significantly more.

And so with that population, I can see it being pretty standard for them to be consuming at least five, six meals a day.

Since they tend to be eating double the amount of the average person.

And so – but the interesting thing that happens is that the guidelines from this very sort of fringe elite population, that's what trickles down into the general public.

And then they're stuck thinking, okay, maybe I need to eat every 2.5 hours or some such.

But yeah, with the general population and even recreational athletes and people who are hobbyists and stuff, you really –

The impact of actual protein distribution is inconsequential compared to the total.
