Lose Fat, Gain Muscle, And One Meal A Day
As the subject says, can you lose fat and gain muscle while only eating one meal a day as long as you supplement with extra protein?

Yes.
Protein powder counts as food. OMAD is under the assumption that you're only taking in calories once a day. But yeah if that's the plan. Like 3 shakes and then a big meal each day would work
>protein powder counts as food
Frick me thats why my cuts don't work.
Aren't you tracking calories during a cut? And you just didn't count your shakes?
Senpai I always thought of protein shakes like sports medicine drugs. Just like vicodin or gatorade. Nobody counts calories in drugs.
Non-Zero Sugar Gatorade still has a bunch of sugar in it whereas pills have negligible calories.
Isotonic have some sugar in them (to keep glucose high during activity). There are about couple of hundreds kcals in one bottle.
Does it really matter when I have the shake? I was considering having it at the end of the workout to get it as close to when I usually eat as possible.
Also, I've seen 0.7g per lb for target weight and 1g per target weight. Which would be better for my purposes? If 0.7g, I figured I'd just have a 3 scoop shake and get the rest of the protein in the meal.
Yes it matters. You are supposed to eat all your calories all at once. It isn't OMAD otherwise.
I meant in regards to the timing of the workout. I've been eating one meal a day for a while, but I haven't been explicitly following the rules of OMAD (the diet). Yes, I know how autistic it sounds. But I think there's rules about what you're supposed to drink caffeine-wise and what foods to avoid.
I do it at the end of the day. I eat enough to completely restore my glycogen stores. Some people do it first thing in the morning. I find eating disrupts my energy levels and I have more energy when I am hungry versus full.
The timing doesn't really matter. The ideal is 1-1.1g of protein per pound of lean body mass, which is your weight minus the fat. Use picrel to get a general idea of what your percentage is

Is it over for me?
>he doesn't know how to cut
It's over
how?
>eat less
>be less
Simple as
can't be that easy
don't eat less you will die!
This is exactly what I did. Eat OMAD and flush everything down with a whey shake. Yes it works.
So shake in the morning before gym.
One straight after.
One at lunch time
Then big meal for dinner.
OK?
That would work just fine. 1 scoop at each shake time would get you to around 75g of protein for only 360kcal
I might give it a crack. Shifting this last couple of kg is proving difficult with orthodox dieting guided by my fitness pal.
Depends on how much you are packing into that one meal. Lots of athletes have started doing one meal a day as it helps you have a better muscle to fat ratio. If you are using it to lose weight you will experience some muscle loss as the weight comes off, but if your goal is to maintain your weight and build more muscle then it works great.
Is a 3 scoop shake too much at one time?
Only if you have no empathy with those people you share the toilet with
How long does Gold Standard last? I have some from August 2022, it smells good and no clumps. safe to use? Thanks bros
2022?
As long as the container is sealed it should be fine
What the frick are you talking about
Eat one meal of normal food and drink protein powder rest of the day?
Tissues only take the aminos they need RIGHT NOW from the bloodstream. Shakes dump like 20-50g aminos into bloodstream (limited by small intestine ability to almost instantly absorb it). So the tissues take up like 5g/pass the rest gets converted into glucose by the liver within like 15 minutes. This is why pure protein jacks up insulin. So a 50g whey shake is converted into 5-10g aminos and 40-45g glucose.
If you want to recomp eat a shitton (like 300-500g) of starch an hour before workout. Take 2tbsp glucose after workout. Rest of the day eat lean meat and low carb veg with small amount of fat for micros absorption. Starch will prevent muscle breakdown for energy, excess will be burned off during workout, glucose after workout does the same. Lean meat will drip aminos and ketone bodies into blood. Ketone bodies will feed the brain and hopefully you won't be too glucose depleted and bodyfat will be used for breathing and muscle building. It'll still slow down muscle building you need glucose for maxing that out but you'll gradually get bigger and leaner.
No. Just feel miserable and bike
One meal a day? Sounds like torture
If you use whey, then you cannot claim to be natty. Simple as.
