#146: Meal Timing & Fat Loss - Is there a link?
08/18/22 • 7 min
One of the most common questions we Dietitian’s get asked, is whether or not it matters how many meals we eat per day. This naturally leads to the question of, “how many meals should I eat per day to achieve XYZ goal?”
In this episode, I dive into the very popular topic of meal timing and specifically, its link to fat loss nutrition - because meal timing is variable dependant and your goal dictates its importance.
The typical diet is 3 main meals with maybe some snacks are thrown in across the day - generally with a fairly typical meal timing regimen. However, for the longest time, there has been alot of talk about ideal meal timing and the impacts on our health as well as our fat loss efforts.
Does the time you eat your meal have varying effects on you?
Should you eat after 6pm?
Is there any reason to worry about meal timing for improving our body composition?
Or is it just another attention-seeking tactic with no merit?
In today’s podcast, I will cover:
- Meal timing explained (the in’s and out’s)
- What has been said about meal timing in relation to fat loss (exploring the claims)
- Is meal timing important for fat loss success? (the blunt lowdown you NEED to know)
Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.
Hope you enjoy!
