    Can I just make like 4 protein shakes and only consume those every day during a cut? That's like 100g of protein and no additional calories. What's the penalty for having >500 cal deficit if I meet my protein requirements

      You could also eat fried dry meat. Hunt a liberal, remove the meat and fat, discard the rest. Dry the meat in the sun, cook it in its own fat until gets crispy and store it for later consumption.

      There is none. The body consumes carbs then fat then protein, as long as it has enough protein from food that it doesn't need to take any from your muscles for cell maintenance. The real problem with that big of a calorie deficit with no carbs is that your test will probably dip as well as energy levels, making it harder to lift heavy which may also lead to muscle atrophy since if you aren't lifting hard you're telling your body you don't need those muscles

    I agree with you OP. I did OMAD and then later one meal every other day. Lost weight fast but I also lost a shitload of muscle and strength. Wasted a year of growth in two months. It’s only worth it if you are very fat and need to get down to a foundation to build muscle on

      No bro. You aren't timing your meals with your gym sessions. You need fuel to work out, obviously. If you're working out fasted then of course you're gonna perform weak and have a hard time recovering. It's suboptimal but if you aren't gaining/maintaining strength gradually you're doing something wrong in programming or meal timing.

      I did OMAD in grad school and still added 65kg on my squat over 4y (intermediate lifter, squat at the time was 160kg), some of that shit was in low carb states too.

        our ancestors didn't eat 5 times a day, they found what they could and gorged themselves on it. There is absolutely no scientific or evolutionary argument for a reason why OP's pic would be true, unless you have some studies proving otherwise.

                I fast because It's unironically the best diet man could possibly have. I don't do it to min/max muscle gain. I just do insane amounts of reps and sets per overall week and I'm seeing gains thanks to it, and i don't plateau thanks to it. That's all i need. Also, eating constantly seems like a nuisance, and i feel... powerful? after eating a huge large diverse meal in one sitting.

                Many fricking reps, many sets. Start with a weight that doesn't feel too heavy, and increase the weight every 3-4 months since that's the amount of time your joints require to grow and become capable of handling heavier weights without busting themselves up.
                I'm talking about multiple sets of 30+ reps. In my circuit, i do 50x6 monkey shrugs with 35lbs and 30x3 delt flyes with 45lbs and others. That's a total of over 1000+ reps for shoulders a week.

          absolutely factually incorrect

          >fasting not only isn't the best way to build muscle it isn't even a decent way of retaining muscle
          What type of fasting are you talking about? I don't know about the other ones, but regarding Intermittent Fasting this is completely and utterly false. In fact, it's the opposite, during a 22 hour OMAD IF you gain over 700% HGH 24 hour boost.

          18:6 fasting is just 18 hours of you not actively eating food, at most you would be in an actual fasted state for like 6 hours on such a protocol which is suboptimal but not that big of a deal

          > In fact, it's the opposite, during a 22 hour OMAD IF you gain over 700% HGH 24 hour boost.
          HGH goes up as IGF-1 drops to the floor and igf-1 is more anabolic than hgh
          doesn't matter anyway because natural spikes in hormones are irrelevant, what matters is if you have the nutrition your body needs
          supraphysiological HGH isn't even anabolic towards muscle unless it's accompanied by a spike in IGF-1 as well either directly by insulin/igf-1 injection or indirectly by anabolic steroids that boost IGF-1

          look at actual muscle changes in humans and fasting is outperformed every single time

              you just posted a meta analysis that groups up "fasting" protocols together regardless with no description of the type of fasting, read my previous post and you will see why that's a problem, a 18:6 fasting protocol isn't a fast, it's just a suboptimal protocol for eatingm the vast majority of the day you are not fasting on such a protocol and neither you or me have any idea of what methods or protocols were used exactly on each specific study analysed in that review you posted

              furthermore
              >Sub grouped analysis fasting regimens appeared to substantially reduce IGF-1 (WMD: -28.87 ng/ml, 95% CI: -43.69, -14.05, I2 = 00%), energy restricting regimens failed to do the same (WMD: -10.98 ng/ml, 95% CI: -33.08, 11.11, I2 = 90%).

              lol

              also you left out the "natural spikes in hormones are irrelevant" point, why? because it's true right?

        It’s not common knowledge. In fact it’s commonly debunked. The protein synthesis myths everyone one in the broscience sphere propagates like weeds come from the companies who deliberately misinterpreted one study to convince everyone to have three protein shakes a day.
        The misconception goes like this:
        >anything less than 30g protein in one meal fails to maximise the rate of muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
        >30g of protein in one meal hits max MPS and greater than 30g of protein in a serve does not increase MPS
        >therefore you should have many meals with around 30g of protein (about the amount in a scoop), otherwise you’re wasting protein and getting less anabolism
        This completely ignores the data from the study which shows that whilst MPS tops out after 30g of protein consumption, it simply continues until all the protein of that meal has been consumed. Your body has mechanisms to slow down the digestion of a massive ingestion of meat until it’s gotten all of the valuable protein from it.
        So in reality splitting up your protein intake 1. Doesn’t improve the actual volume of MPS in a day and 2. Just increases digestive stress by forcing your stomach to discrete fresh stomach acids and bile salts etc 5 - 6 times a day

                If its in the muscle tissue its not being stored, its being used. The maximum protein you are capable to absorb over an amount of time instead of just peeing out is limited therefore should be obvious that spacing out protein intake is beneficial unless you disagree that you cannot store protein ( if its in the muscle tissue its not storage) if its not directed to rebuild muscle soon it will be converted to urea or you believe you can continuously intake protein in 1 meal to cover the entire day which is just not true. The body has a cap on how much protein it is physically possible to absorb over time and stacking it all at once just doesn't work

      Protein synthesis is required whether you're building muscle or not. In a caloric deficit you're going to be catabolic the majority of the time, but the increased protein synthesis that multiple meals provides will better offset the catabolism and spare more muscle.

          you don't understand MPS or what it entails

          muscle protein synthesis is always occuring, but the breakdown of muscle proteins also is, and in an energy deficit breakdown will offset the synthesis of muscle proteins meaning you will lose muscle, training makes your muscles more responsive to amino acids for hours but guess what that anabolic response to training depends on amino acid availability, and when you're fasting you will be catabolic there's no way you can offset this except by eating, where do you think amino acids come from in order for your muscles to assimilate them? the blood, but if you aren't digesting or absorbing any from your food because you are fasting you will simply not build any muscle, or at best simply leech amino acids from other muscles towards the one you just trained
          the "48h MPS spike" meme depends completely on training status and your diet, it ain't gonna be building any muscle for 48h if you spend over half that time course in a fasted state

              if food is being digested you aren't fasting, you're digesting and absorbing nutrition from the food you ate and there's literally no autophagy or any insulin drop or any of that shit that you fastgays keep rambling about, in a true fasted state there's nothing in your small intestine being absorbed, meaning there's no surplus of amino acids coming in, meaning that your blood will run low of amino acids and your muscles will be used as an amino acid pool for protein repair and remodelling throughout your entire body, which is literally directly catabolic, in order to preserve regular brain/heart/gut/liver/kidney/skin/eye/CNS function among other organs such as your muscles but mostly the brain and gut, your muscles make up a fraction of your entire body's protein turnover rate

              your muscles are not a priority for your body to maintain, meaning that fasting will be 100% guaranteed to be catabolic

              if you eat 400g of protein in a single sitting and fast for 40h or so, you will be digesting that the whole time yes, but you're not really fasting in that case are you? not to mention there's only evidence showing that irregular protein feedings in humans is way less anabolic than frequent protein feedings, and we have countless anecdotes by bodybuilders too so it's not just meaningless labcoat nerd shit but decades and decades of scientific research AND actual practical experince of thousands and thousands of bodybuilders and athletes in favour of frequent eating
              the more frequently you eat the more of the nutrients you eat go towards muscle repair and growth, the less frequently you eat the more of them are deposited in other organs.

                explain this then

                This fasting homosexual in link related has been eating like 2 meals a day for years, he switched to this moronic 12 meal a day protocol equal in calories and macros to his previous diet but in much smaller portions for ONE week and the results are:
                +0.5" gain on the arms
                -0.5" loss on the waist
                bodyweight went down

                fasting gays are basically cucking themselves out of sick gains, instead of following what bodybuilders actually do they keep following moronic hippy shit
                bodybuilders might be moronic but they are jacked at least and are willing to do anything to get more jacked

                it is true that exercise itself helps preserve muscle but the problem is relying mostly on it vs relying on both eating and exercising to the same degree
                there is a maximum amount of benefit that humans are able to get from one feeding and it doesn't seem possible to compensate for it with big feasts even if you're eating more calories at the end of the week vs spreading food throughout the day evenly

                the best way to preserve muscle is to exercise often and eat often, both are similar in their impact in muscle protein balance

                For example, what will have quicker results:
                Someone who eats nothing while working out for a month, refeeds, then works out to rebuild muscle for a month
                vs.
                Someone who eats at half their TDEE while lifting for 2 months

                your body doesn't need you to be strong or big, it only wants to survive at any cost
                your organs like your liver, heart, lungs, gut and brain are more important than your muscles because if they shrink in size you not only probably will suffer permanent consequences you might die as well
                even if your muscles get tiny you can still move, and if you starve really badly you get very light, so even less of a need for big muscles, what is the incentive for keeping muscles during starvation or famine?

                lions, wolves, bears and tigers can starve and suffer less muscle loss than humans due to their genetics and the fact they feast upon kilos and kilos of meat in one sitting and their metabolism+digestion is capable of making use of most of it for all organs no matter how much they eat in one sitting, humans are different sadly, mesolithic hunter gatherers are projected to have been around 19-20BMI, we never thrived with periodic starvation we merely survived through it.

      Those "studies" didn't happen to test fat people did they? Fat people's bodies work a lot differently to thin or even medium sized people. When there's enough fat the body can lose fat. Anyone who thinks you can put the body in a state of no food and think you will save muscle overall as opposed to just eating normally with the same amount of calories is plain moronic. The body panics during a fast, it will burn everything it can get a hold of.

        So, from an evolutionary perspective, if a hunter didn't catch something to eat for a few days, the body suddenly destroyed the parts needed to run after and fight said prey?
        Wouldn't it make more sense to preserve these valuable tools (with a huge spike in growth hormone) and instead open up more ways to access the stored fat (via incresed lipolysis)?

          Humans were mostly foragers, that muscle would be a constant metabolic drag. As with other primates the primary function of muscles in humans is for fighting other humans for food (like a dog fights for a bone), territory and reproductive rights.

          >Wouldn't it make more sense to preserve these valuable tools (with a huge spike in growth hormone) and instead open up more ways to access the stored fat (via incresed lipolysis)?
          To us muscle is valuable, however to our biology fat is also very valuable. Remember I said that fat people are different and should have enough fat that most muscle is spared. Remember that muscle not only requires calories to keep going, also other resources in terms of nutrition. Why would human who were already malnourished in some nutrients keep on this massive drag when it was mostly useless to them other than for reproductive purposes and using up all their nutrients. Why would they hang on to it?!

          On the other hand if you're losing weight in a controlled way the body can say well food sources are low, no need to panic and boycot all this muscle.

            It's like you think the ice age never happened.
            The truth is there is no unified 'human evolution' because we are all the offspring of the rapebabies of myriad of archaic hominins who migrated to and fro.
            Each had their own diets, society, threats etc. which shaped their brain and bodies, from neanderthal to hobbits and giants. This chaotic mixture of aperapes resulted in most of the humans you see today and why there has always been a higher rate of biological problems in humans than other species and why the concept of races even exists today.
            We haven't averaged out the genes archaic genes yet and there is a case to be made for leaving pockets of genetic diversity but few people care because dats raciss.

                this is the most outrageous part of the "many meals" lie:
                - hunter gatherers got barely anything to eat inbetween big meals, basically fricking berries and leafs, ZERO PROTEIN. protein would only be fed in big, irregular meals because they were bad at conserving meat.
                - in the later farming societies people were once again out and about during the day, this time to work large fields for many hours. the main food they could bring along was bread. not much protein fed throughout the day, likely just two proper meals: breakfast and dinner. they were also deprived as shit (limited diet) and famines were common. over time these farmers would be naturally selected for getting by on just fricking carbs for long periods, and squeezing every last nutrient out of a one-sided grain diet.

      You will never be aesthetic. You have no willpower, you have low-t without PED's, you are a fraud. You are a man suffering from body dysmoprhia twisted by drugs and hormones into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

      All the “mires” you get are two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mog you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your grotesque musculature behind closed doors.

      Women are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed women to sniff out roidcels with incredible efficiency. Even men who claim "natty” still look uncanny and strange to normal athletic people. Your absurd musculature and over-aged face is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk woman home with you, she’ll turn tail and bolt the second she sees your roid-gut and acne ridden back and chest.

      You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning, do your lifts and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the anxiety of early heart failure creeping up like a weed, ready to kill you under the unbearable weight, more so than your PR's.

      Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy synthol, get a tourniqet, put it around your arm, and plunge into the abyss of true body dysmorphia. Your parents will find you dead at 30, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment of having a roidtroony for a son. They’ll bury you with a photograph of you on your headstone, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a frauder is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that was ngmi.

      This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

    this chart and whoever made it is moronic. If you are in a permanently fed state you will blow out your insulin sensitivity which means your muscle protein synthesis response as well as your recovery will get worse, you'll get fat / have a hard time losing stubborn weight, and you will age poorly and suffer age-related diseases earlier. Look up the relationship between insulin desensitization / chronically elevated blood sugar with longevity--- you have MFers out there taking Metformin (diabetes drug) to improve fat loss, muscle mass, and longevity. All of which studies show it does

    More than that, when you are fed all the time you completely blunt your body's release / effect of GH, which in men comes in spikes every few hours throughout the day with the spikes being most pronounced in the morning. The essence of IF is to increase insulin sensitivity (which helps muscles grow/recover, keep your blood sugar levels low which is great for general health and longevity, and keep you lean) as well as maximize the periods of time when your body can release GH. Keeping your GH elevated during fasted periods allows muscles to not be cannibalized when you're in a catabolic state... if you're smart about how you supplement while doing IF, you can add Citrulline and alpha-GPC, which are GH secretagogues and significantly elevate your natural release of GH

        What type of fasting are you talking about? I don't know about the other ones, but regarding Intermittent Fasting this is completely and utterly false. In fact, it's the opposite, during a 22 hour OMAD IF you gain over 700% HGH 24 hour boost.

        Fasting helps clear out old cells and mitochondria, so your body becomes stronger after and better able to grow in the future. It turns back aging.
        Fasting puts the bodies cells into a survival of the fittest competition where only the strong cells in your body survive and the weak ones that were holding you back get culled.

        Constantly eating puts your body in a constant anabolic state which reduces lifespan.
        It's one of the many reasons huge pro bodybuilders tend to die younger. They are putting their body in a constant anabolic state with high calories, protein. steroids and growth hormone which accelerates aging and negative health consequences of that.

      fasting isn't the broscience on nutrition. broscience is eating 10 meals a day and twice the protein your body could possibly need because that's what professional bodybuilders on grams of test and other drugs did to compete in Mr. Olympia. pro bodybuilders have done and continue to do outrageous shit. I remember one of the famous ones saying he interrupts his (no doubt terrible) sleep in the middle of the night to eat an extra meal. fricker literally got up to eat an then went back to bed. imagine the drug stack. I also remember Ronnie Coleman being a painkiller addicted cripple these days because he never figured out that he could just lift lighter weights and gain just as much size without fricking up his entire skeleton. speaking of which a couple years ago suddenly everybody in the bodybuilding amateur space started believing that you should do powerlifting training to gain muscle mass. now that's broscience.

    Is obvious that the body will not absorb all the protein in a small time frame, and cutting with a deficit eat a lot of muscle, The real deal is soft-bulking 15 days and then do a 3 days fast.

          >make your body never rest
          Sounds great. Your body is never ever at full rest (unless you're dead) anyway. More work for the body means more calories being burned off :0. Also, if what you're trying to imply is more work = less rest = less gains, you're wrong. We know that active rest is better for resting out the body than full rest in a lot of cases. Look at how powerlifters and bodybuilders take resting deload weeks, which are still very active, instead of full blown passive rest weeks for optimal results.

I've lost a good chunk of weight to the point of having a 27.5 inch waist, good abdominals, nice shoulders and arms and a good chunk of regular compliments and hookups from women.

          I doubt you'd feel satiated at any point, but hey, it sure could work for some individuals 🙂 Anyway, that much usually isn't needed since 0.5g per kg of bw is usually the upper limit in terms of how much our body can absorb. So 4 meals are usually enough.

                you will get all these benefits if you exercise moderately, NOT if you follow the advice of pro athletes and doctors dealing with optimizing things like nutrition and exercise for athletes. training and eating moderately = good, long life. training and eating hard = short life.

    Most of my life I was of the opinion that you don't need frequent meals and I did OMAD even when I was bulking because I thought it was convenient. Just had to wait until I was so hungry I could eat 3500kcal in clean food in one sitting. I did this for many years and while I always stayed really lean and I did build "some" muscle, it just wasn't a lot. Eventually I read some of Brad Schoenfelds stuff on this, and the tl;dr was:
    >It is therefore a relatively simple and elegant solution to consume protein at a target intake of 0.4 g/kg/meal across a minimum of four meals in order to reach a minimum of 1.6 g/kg/day – if indeed the primary goal is to build muscle. Using the upper CI daily intake of 2.2 g/kg/day over the same four meals would necessitate a maximum of 0.55 g/kg/meal. This tactic would apply what is currently known to maximize acute anabolic responses as well as chronic anabolic adaptations.
    So I gave this a try, and while I still hate having to eat frequently it has indeed helped me grow bigger. I feel like I do put on more fat along with more muscle though.

            The range is 1.6-2.2g/kg. If you weigh 90kg that's 144-200g where 200g is basically the upper limit. 400g of chicken breast alone is over 120g of protein. You could eat 1 (ONE) chicken breast for lunch and one for dinner and you have already hit between 60 and 80% of your protein goals.

                You already need a minimum of 25-30g per meal to even trigger a spike in protein synthesis, and the recommendation from the study is a range between 36 and 50g per meal (if you weigh 90kg, for example).

                No, that was what was believed to he the maximum. You can get a minimum with a single gram of protein you dumb frick. Your body isn't just chilling and doing nothing until a certain point of protein is reached. It adapts in response to the amount given to it in almost a linear fashion and slowly cuts off at the 30g mark and fully stops at maybe 0.5g/kg of bw.

        I like IF because I can't sleep when i'm hungry.
        So I'd rather starve at the start of the day and binge eat in the evening so I can actually relax.
        It works for me, don't expect it to work for others. Some people can't work when hungry.

    People keep saying this but like I've lifted with strongmen before and they just eat 2-3 fricking huge meals a day and don't carry little homosexual lunch bins with half a chicken breast and some cold rice in it. Strongmen have more muscle mass than bodybuilders.

      Why even lie online when people like Eddie Hall, you know an actual world champ strongman, has posted what he eats in a day and it's a ton of food all throughout it and between major meals. Same with Brian Shaw. you're just coping because it doesn't agree with your own desires.

    Is _anyone_ going to post a credible source for their claims? Blogs and Youtube videos don't count.

    The point of fasting isn’t to make muscle are you moronic? You’re not going to make muscle either when you eat at a deficit. That’s just how it works. Hell, go tell /fraud/ you’re gonna do your first steroid cycle on a cut and ask them what they think. And you morons expect to grow natty just cause you eat at certain times? The goal in fasting or cutting is simply to lose as little muscle as possible. If you fast, protein metabolism peaks by day 2 and falls of quickly the longer you fast. If you just diet, you’re constantly in this day 2 phase. You’ll be hungry but never in a starvation response. Not only that, but dieting will take way longer for the same result. So when you make these calculations, you also gotta take into account all the extra time you get in the gym on a complete diet, which is really the only time you make significant progress.

    [...]

    Do you have a source on that?

    Source?

    A source. I need a source.

    Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

    No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

    You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

    Do you have a degree in that field?

    A college degree? In that field?

    Then your arguments are invalid.

    No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

    Correlation does not equal causation.

    CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

    You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

    Nope, still haven't.

    I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

      Yes yes, you posted the hilarious and very clever Reddit source thing, but understand that half of these are fricking legit questions with a lot of the bullshit broscience that gets thrown around here.

        >broscience
        Broscience was born out of failure of establishment science. Establishment science taught me to replace the animal fats in my diet with trans fats as part of official curriculum. The bros are going to have to go a long way to match that failure.
