eating 300 calories for a meal is absolutely ridiculous...
You need to pick better options......8 oz lemon pepper tilapia, 2 cups cooked spinach, and 1 cup cooked cauliflower around 330 calories. I only made it half way through this meal and I was full so I guess my 165 calorie meal of PURE nutrtion is just absolutely ridiculous HA! PPL really should research stuff before they post
Better choices for sure!! And have more SMALLER meals. Some people don't care to take advice.
LOL
Please explain the benefit of having more smaller meals throughout the day as opposed to one large meal and fasting for most of the day?
dude. chill. if fasting works for you, great. most people prefer to eat more often because it helps them stick to their diet and feel satisfied. WHO CARES! STOP being an *kitten*! At the end of the day, it makes no difference whether you ate one 2000 cal meal or ten 200 cal meals. People need to stop judging other people's methods like this. It's one thing to encourage better nutrition; it's quite another to be rude and push YOUR way when there is no reason for the average person to subscribe to your philosophy or methods.
I can eat 300 cals and be satisfied for sure if I eat the right things. My meals are usually 300-500 (1200-1400 cals total) with 2 higher days on the weekend. It's working wonderfully for ME. I've lost 10 lbs in the past 5 weeks, and I'm only 10 lbs overweight so it's not like it falls right off.
I eat a mountain of roasted veggies for dinner most nights (roasted in 1-2 tsp olive oil) plus protein on the side (salmon or tofu, usually). Sometimes a small portion of quinoa or sweet potato too, but not usually. That fills me up for a few hours, then I have a 175cal super filling nighttime snack of plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit and chia seeds. It's not hard to be full on 300cal if you eat the right things!
YOU know absolutely NOTHING. So you can stop private messaging me about how you know everything and I need to be quiet. I speak up because I am tired of hearing about how women need to starve themselves to lose weight. If you eat 1200-1400 calories a day then that speaks VOLUMES right there0 -
I take dumps bigger than 300 calorie meals.
*dying laughing......0 -
If I ever have a salad it has to have a lot of dressing on it, otherwise I just can't eat it. I am starting to have low calorie meals but as I only have 2 meals a day and snacks I have one with high calories. I don't have the time for 6 meals a day. You just have to look online to see the amount of meals for under 500 calories there are.0

The post made it sound as if more frequent and smaller meals had some HUGE benefit. People often have the idea that eating frequently boosts your metabolism, really meal frequency and timing are practically irrelevant. Just trying to dispel the BS that gets posted on here daily. I wasn't pushing fasting and a big meal in any way... I was just trying to weed out some crap that someone else was pushing about frequent meals being better for you.
Really, its what is sustainable for you personally. There is no metabolic advantage to meal timing and frequency.

Chicken Quesadilla! Made with boneless skinless baked chicken, diced tomatoes, chilles, peppers and onions with 2% mexican blend cheese- in between 2 (small) corn tortillas. Came in at just under 300 calories.
I know some people are going back and forth about 300 calorie meals being too small- I have been amazed to find that if I make small changes in my cooking (less oil, no butter- stop cooking with cream cheese lol) I can easily make tasty meals for around 300 calories per serving and be satisfied.0 -

I have lost 45 lbs since I had my baby girl in November of 2011. I guess that is pretty positive since I did it slowly. Now that I have made it to my goal weight (a few months ago actually) I have upped my calories to 1500 per day, and have been maintaining easily, and toning up. I have lost measurement on my waist, hips and thighs from toning, have MUCH more muscle than I did before (lost a lot during pregnancy), and have built up my endurance tremendously. I am now toying with slowly raising my caloric intake as I am training for a few races this spring and summer. Where is the negative? I only see positive in my body changes. I was comfortable enough to wear a bikini in public FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER without a cover up, when I was on vaca last month. I would say THAT is pretty positive as well. So, if you would like to point out where I am starving myself, where my results are NOT positive, and where I will NOT see MORE positive results, I would be happy to read it.0 -

Funny how now that you want excellent results you have decided that you might need more food/fuel. Too bad you didn't discover that back in 2011 ..... imagine where you would be right now if someone had stepped up and told you to stop eating so little.
Now that you want to achieve more you are eating more.... yet you are angry with those that are suggesting it from the get go and hopefully preventing people from eating so little from the start.....
Do you realize that when you eat so little you burn off 50% fat AND 50% muscle.... if you eat properly and exercise hard you maintain most of your lean mass and mainly burn fat ? So all of that muscle you lost the past 2 yrs you are only now regaining ? Also, if you are eating at TDEE or below, you are NOT building muscle....at all You are strengthening what you have and shedding fat layers so the muscle is more visible. NO ONE gains muscle on a calorie deficit0 -

Unfortunately, it looks like some people just cannot help but derail this.
The part that I bolded above is absolutely, 100%, certifiably false.
Muscle loss can be mitigated through proper consumption of protein and through strength training at any calorie level. Even on VLCD's, research has shown this to be true. People with a more moderate deficit and improper nutrition still run the risk of malnutrition and muscle loss. In fact, people with no deficit at all who do not eat properly can lose muscle if they don't maintain adequate nutrition.
Furthermore, the most lean body mass loss (not strictly muscle) shown by research is in the neighborhood of 30% not 50% and that was on a diet of 600kcal not 1200 cal or any higher variation of calories that might include 300 calorie meals. Many people eat 300 calorie meals within their 1800+ diet (as has been indicated throughout this thread).
I don't know why people insist on derailing topics that are this awesome. I would rather be able to just scroll through and read the recipes.
And FWIW, I have had a couple Dexa scans that showed that I have maintained lean body mass on a 1200 cal diet.0 -

eating 300 calories for a meal is absolutely ridiculous...
You need to pick better options......8 oz lemon pepper tilapia, 2 cups cooked spinach, and 1 cup cooked cauliflower around 330 calories. I only made it half way through this meal and I was full so I guess my 165 calorie meal of PURE nutrtion is just absolutely ridiculous HA! PPL really should research stuff before they post
Better choices for sure!! And have more SMALLER meals. Some people don't care to take advice.
LOL
Please explain the benefit of having more smaller meals throughout the day as opposed to one large meal and fasting for most of the day?
For me, the benefit is not getting bloated from stuffing in 700 calories worth of food all at once. I also enjoy eating so I like to be doing it as often as possible. But everyone's different. 0 -

Sorry, I meant to ask the benefit other than personal preference and adherence to a diet of either way of eating.
I interpreted that post to say that if people knew what was best for them or took "advice" that we would all be eating multiple small meals a day and judging by the phrase "better choices" that would imply "clean" eating too, because its the "right" or "healthy" way. Guess I was looking for scientific benefit which I hope this dietary advice is based on.
But anyway, calc your TDEE, eat as many meals as you want, get adequate protein, eat at a small to moderate deficit and you'll lose... and try the 300cal recipe I posted... it has BACON and CHEESE in it.
Peace out, cubscouts, really didn't mean to start this big of a debate with my smart *kitten* comments. But like someone said, I'm just an *kitten*!
