    calorie cycling.

    So eating a different amount of calories each day.

    It's just another way of creating an overall deficit, not a magic weight loss solution or anything.

    If you eat 14,000 calories over a week calorie cycling or eat 14,000 calories a week eating the same amount each day then the overall net effect is going to be the same for most people.

    I had a feeling this was going to be a pretty terrible article.......

    Got as far as
    Always eat at least 5 meals a day (preferably 6 or 7). Two or three meals simply isn't often enough. Your blood sugar levels will be controlled (and thus your cravings), you'll get protein in small amounts throughout the day to support growth and recovery, and (most important) the enzymes that store fat will be produced in far smaller amounts, making your body far less capable of storing fat!

    Simply, by providing your body with a consistent and frequent supply of calories -- life-giving energy -- its need to store fat is significantly reduced. Conversely, when you eat infrequently, your body recognizes a "famine" situation, and the enzymes are produced in large quantities to "swoop down" on every calorie you consume in order to store it as fat in preparation for the "famine" to come.

    then stopped reading.
