Choosing Meal Sizes and Timing

Dr. Mike, your videos are fantastic! I’m a huge fan and have seen almost everything you’ve put out. Could you do a critique of 8x Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman’s diet and/or training ? In videos he claims to have eaten 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Was his success mostly due to his diet? Genetics? “Sport supplement” choices? His training style, while effective had consequences as well. It appeared that he cracked the code, yet he fell apart like Mr Potatohead. Can you do a critique that would help navigate the takeaway’s from the hard lessons? Thanks

Just found the app and it's amazing. Makes things stupid easy to plan. Doesn't help shoving food down my gullet, but super easy to prep

What size is the turkey sanndwitch with light Mayo with 10 grams of fat 1\4 a size of a mini slider sandy? The meat pasta meal fat is off also ? Mini?

right but which hand do I use to shovel the food into my mouth, will it cause imbalances if I only use my masturbation hand?

Hey Mike!

I was wondering: Does it make a difference for gaining muscle whether you consume most of your fats in one meal and almost no fat in the other meals opposed to spreading your fats more evenly throughout the day?

"You get to have the burrito again... but in reverse." Lol

💯👍

For the algo and knowledge bombs.

👍

This has to be the hardest part of gaining muscle.

Hiya awesome content! I would love some guidance. I'm an amateur bodybuilder in bikini category, im a mother of two and have a full time job. When I train it has to be first thing like 0600 so normally I don't eat anything hit gym than have a high carb post workout meal. Then in eveni gs I do cardio. I'm struggling to see results, struggling with energy, struggling to get a pump. What can I do to change? Can I eat at 0530 ans then go to gym ans should that contain carbs? I'm in prep for next show in 8 weeks. I had a 12 month build phase and don't think I've developed enough mass that I should have.

Can I eat my meal less then every 4 hours?

loved it

Eat more than last time.

I'm gaining on 150g protein, 110g fat OR MORE if I'm feeling tired. Zero sugar zero carbs zero fiber.

Started in july at 130 lbs, aiming for 150 and at 146lbs now.

That's why I sweat so much damn!

ppl who have problem getting enough food have a very nice problem:D

Super

I've just started training properly, literally this week I'm 150lbs, around 18%body fat, I am on a calorie surplus by around 300kcal, I have around 120g protein I don't want to over complicate everything, is this series essential for me to gain a decent amount of muscle (not for optimimal muscle gain) plus I'm on a fairly small dietary budget. Or can I come back to this in around 3-6 months.

I could definitely eat 2500 calories of food in one sitting. Infact that is why im such a fat bastard now 😂😂😂😂 i am cutting down my body fat right now but i am so looking forward to using the knowledge in this series to start putting mass back on 😭😭

im 200 pounds, never been this heavy, its hard to eat well

I wish I had the problem of struggling to eat enough. My regular appetite results in bulking and my mindful dieting results in maintaining

Dang, according to this, my fats and carbs are backwards 🤦🏼

I’m usually 100-200 carbs, 100–140 fat 😬

💯 relate to late night eating problems. I've started doing fasted cardio/light morning workouts again, to jumpstart my appetite as close as possible to when I wake up. Then I push carbs and/or a shake, THEN do the heavy work, THEN a high-protein breakfast. After that, it's much easier to coast on my workday diet.

That shirt is a personal attack on me. I went to PT and they told me I had the tightest hamstrings and ankles they have ever seen. I literally can’t squat deep with good form but I am also a piece of shit that doesn’t stretch enough so it is my fault.

I cannot understand how people have a hard time eating enough calories. I am hungry 24/7. I struggle with eating too much.

I sleep really well with a stomach full of food (to the point where sometimes I can't sleep if I'm the least bit hungry and go eat a meal). Are there any downsides otherwise? I'm usually hungrier at night than first thing in the morning.

My question leaving this video is do you track your calorie lose when you puke on the leg press?🤭

Definitely looking forward to having the problem of "eating enough" going into gaining after this cutting phase to 10% 🔥🍖💪😋

Interesting in his more recent videos he says 4 is the best amount of meals over 3 but 5 is fine

So what happens with fats after the workout? Why can’t you eat them after it?

The Dr would not be pleased to learn that V Shred bullshit advertisements are interrupting his videos!

I have to have 3 complete meals, otherwise, I just stay hungry throughout the day. If my meals are less than 700 calories, I never feel satisfied. Just the way my body/mind is. I’ve tried to do 4-5 meals per day, and I’m just miserable, always thinking about food. But if I have a nice, big breakfast with a spinach omelet, oatmeal, honey toast, hash browns, and turkey bacon, I feel so much better.

Now this is just the kind of info i needed, straightforward and no unnecesary BS. Thank you

The weird thing for me, is I actually find it easier to eat more if I only eat one big meal. because I generally am really hungry going into it. At least in the past.
I have been trying to get more fiber in my diet, and I have found I fill up much faster when my fiber consumption is higher.
But spreading out and adding extra milk can help me get more fat and protein calories when I end up under my target.

Ah yes, look what I have found. No thanks to Scott the video guy. Shame on u 😆 gonna be Scott the butler guy 😮

This video is amazing

I find it difficult to eat when I'm not hungry.

i´m just struggling with eating to much, gaining weight never was a problem for me at all^^ i would love to have some trouble with eating not enough^^

I always find it incredible how our bodies tell us this stuff. I eat almost exactly as as Mike recommends here by simply listening to my body.

I want that shirt, and im super late to the party.... Anyone have a source? lol

I could eat 5000 Cal with one Pizza and enjoyed it.

Pretty jacked switching between IF and OMAD days mostly (occasional off days).

Mike’s bias against it is a tad annoying at times. You can be very jacked with those eating strategies. Most people aren’t trying to be competition bodybuilders

What are "macros"?

I take all my meals to failure

Young Dr. Mike is pretty… ummm… knowledgable.

So.....I'm a truck driver by trade and ALL of my meals occur before my workout window, which ends literally an hour to an hour and a half before I go to bed (if I'm going to get at least 7 hours of sleep). Only thing I consume post workout is a post workout protein shake. Should I save some carbs from earlier in the day to go with that post workout shake? I know the timing is sh*t but that's all I've got to work with

👍🏼😅

3 sets of eating to failure
