Can meal frequency have a significant impact on exercise? Bacon is awesome :) yeah some of it will indeed be used for other purposes but even 5g/day will build an impressive amount of muscle. I suppose there is lots of variability and probably no research done for this feeding pattern, so it would be interesting to know if Matt has any muscle gain? |

Can meal frequency have a significant impact on exercise? Interesting... Well in the case of one meal a day that probably means that you get around 30g protein a day to build muscle with. If it all gets used then with the typical 16% protein content of muscle you could still grow 66kg of muscle a year :-) |

How can I avoid the Man with the Hammer? Actually, looking at the chart again that's a pretty short time to run out of glycogen in. Nevertheless, here's a good starting point for increasing your mitochondria. |

How can I avoid the Man with the Hammer? Definitely looks like you ran out of glycogen. One thing that may be worth looking at is increasing your mitochondrial efficiency in handling fat (maybe by eating a ketogenic diet for a while). In a marathon you will definitely run out of glycogen and then you need to sustain your run on fat metabolism which is somewhat lower energy output for the same oxygen intake. |

Can meal frequency have a significant impact on exercise? Do you have a reference for the 50g at a time thing? Seems to me that the body can extract amino acids while the food is in the small intestine. This says that the SI will be 50% emptied after 3 hours, and if your body is used to one meal/day, might it not be even longer? |

The chemical make-up of food: can non-fat be converted to fat? +1 but I disagree with the calorie algebra. Our body is very flexible and if there is a calorie deficit the body will make you hungry, sluggish and cold. The only reason a deficit of 500kcal works is because it's more than the body can easily compensate for. If you would be in a deficit of let's say 200kcal you'd just be miserable with nothing to show for it. Better to let the body go towards a natural composition by eating Paleo and then tweaking with fasts and high-intensity exercise. |

Eating more and still losing weight @Aaron, I'm actually of European descent and 90-100% of our gene pool is lactose tolerant :-) Parmesan doesn't contain lactose. Furthermore, lactose intolerance is an inconvenience, not a really damaging thing. Bottom line, it's easy to detect if you have dairy issues (simply cut them out for a while and see if you notice a difference) and if you do, don't eat dairy. |

Eating more and still losing weight @Aaron The Very Strict Paleo diet does exclude dairy and all grains, but many interpretations aren't as strict as that. The case against modern wheat is strong, but the case against oats and dairy isn't as clear-cut, and aged cheese like parmesan even less so. |

What are the differences between Paleo and Atkins diets? One nitpick, many hunter-gatherers eat tubers. White potatoes (peeled), yams and sweet potatoes are generally regarded as safe/non-toxic nowadays. |

Eating more and still losing weight Olive oil is 10% poly-unsaturated. However, the ration O6:O3 is about 10:1 and a healthy dietary ratio is 3:1 to 1:1. Furthermore, the lean meat you eat probably also has a pretty bad O6:O3 ratio unless you eat only grassfed beef. The body uses PUFAs as structural elements (mostly in your brain) and inflammation messengers, and a good balance is crucial for good health. |
