In this episode we talk about everything around meal timing. From “Intermittent Fasting” to eating 6 times a day to understanding what’s happening at physiological level and how can you modify it to put yourself in the best position to succeed. We first cover the definition of meal timing (3:05) on both a daily and weekly basis. After discussing the basics, we go into the biggest debate of macro-nutrient timing (3:57) and how you can focus on meal timing in respect to your metabolism, as well as how it can be used to gain muscle mass (4:38).

Moving on, we explain macro timing (5:00), what’s happening from a caloric stand point, and arguments around the different eating windows. Alongside that discussion, we help further your understanding of the thermic effect of food (6:27). This leads us to answering the question of “is there a benefit to eating 6 times a day so your body can turn into a metabolic thermis?”

Once we’ve answered and explained our thoughts on that debate, we talk about what Intermittent Fasting really is (8:35) and if it’s really a “diet” or not. Additionally, we go into depth on whether breakfast really is the most important meal of the day (11:13) because we’ve all heard that before!

Lastly, we talk about the two hormones that help regulate our hunger levels (14:05) because this will truly help you understand what’s going on with your body. And to wrap up this episode, we circle back around to Intermittent Fasting and autophagy (21:06).
