What should I eat

Effect of meal frequency on glucose and insulin excursions over the course of a day
http://www.e-spenjournal.org/article/S1751-4991(10)00054-5/abstract

"Conclusions
In non-obese individuals, glucose levels remained elevated throughout the day with frequent CHO meals compared to 3CHO meals, without any differences in the insulin levels. Increasing the protein content of frequent meals attenuated both the glucose and insulin response. These findings of elevated glucose levels throughout the day warrant further research, particularly in overweight and obese individuals with and without type 2 diabetes."

LMAO! Do you even know or read what you are posting? Do you know what this study is based on? Any idea what CHO is compared to 3CHO?

the study was done on frequent CHO meals (6 meals) vs 3CHO meals

No... lol Biochemistry my dear. CHO = Carbohydrate! Sigh.

This is why this will be my last post. You don't know what you are talking about.

What is better for weight loss, assuming both meal plans consist of the same total caloric intake.
Plan 1 = 5 meals that consist mainly of carbs and a bit of protein and fat
Plan 2 = 2 meals that consist mainly of protein and a bit of fat and carbs?

In the meal plan that consists mostly of carbohydrates with a little bit of fat and protein but many meals a day, the body is going to obtain protein from places in the body like muscle. Depending upon the types of carbohydrates, the blood glucose levels could also be kept at a very high level overworking the pancreas to produce insulin and eventually resulting in diabetes.

In the meal plan that consists mainly of protein, the body is going to be lacking carbohydrates for energy. Also, having long lulls between supplementing the body with food will spike the blood glucose when it does get food.

I feel like I am being graded! lol I am still a student. I hope I passed, even with my simple answers.

Edit - Oh, and the body needs carbohydrates AND protein to burn fat.

I like having conversations with people who study the human body and nutrition. I like hearing other people's takes on things.
Plan 1 is what I've seen lots of people advocate here in MFP, eat often, lots of veges, grains and fruit, don't eat too much protein, no more than 15-25% and a bit of fat.

Plan 2 is what I usually follow, roughly 40-50% protein, 25-30% fat and 25-30% carbs and people think I'm crazy. I can lose weight, maintain my muscle mass and have plenty of energy for my workouts. The body can convert protein into glucose via the liver correct?
