I have found when i can't hang on no matter what, i need to up one of the macros a bit and it helps a tremendous amount.
MESO-Rx
Anabolic Steroids
If You keep macros The same there is no difference between sugar and complex carbs in term of how the body composition will be.
8 small meals or 3 big meals doesn't change a thing in term of how the body composition will be.
For what I care you could do 1 meal a day. If you keep macro the same body composition will be the same.
Say what Willis?
That's What i learned from
Person like @Docd187123 and other about how The body work and all The bullshit that goes around metal timing and bla bla bla.
I could be wrong. Let's wait The doc he knows far more then What i do.

Well that's great that you learned something from doc. Ive learned tons from him as well.
Ive also learned that 3 meals vs. 8 meals does infact make a difference in my body comp, same with sugars.
Most competitive bodybuilders will do a contest prep diet for around 12-20 weeks total. That is without getting above 10-16%BF before starting. So it will take time and dedication. 10lbs in 2-months is not bad. Aim for losing a pound a week and stick with it. Consistency, patience and perseverance is the key.
I always drop fat, and gain with multiple meals 5+. If I eat once a day, even if it's clean, I feel like ass and don't really drop fat. Or at least it seems that way because I can't do that for more than a day or 2.
Everything I've ever read said that multiple small meals created a higher metabolism. Or aided in it. But maybe I'm wrong.
I agree with this to a point. 5 meals is best but depending on lifestyle but 3 meals is alright as well. Hard thing I find with 3 meals and macros is when you're eating 5000 cal a day its a ton of good, clean food to fit into 3 meals. If you're eating 2-300cal a day 3 meals is more plausible. All depends on what goals are, size and cal intake to determine if 3 or more meals suits you best
I'm torn on this... I do believe, for example, eating all of your carbs as sugar first thing in the morning WILL effect your insulin sensitivity if you workout at call it 8pm that night... I just can't buy that timing DOESN'T make a difference...
Timing too.
Eating 2 cups of rice, spread out, mid morning and then lunch, with chicken of course, would have far less of an effect then eating both cups right before bed.

Exactly! for this reason alone!
The insulin sensitivity its IMHO a BROSCIENCE because in the morning you eat protein and fat so you do slow the insulin response because the glycemic peak is not that high as if you were to eat ONLY sugars.
I have eaten 6-7 times a day I'm eating now 4 times a day and see no difference unless I'm bulking and then I eat more meals just because I can't eat 1kg of chicken in two meal (lunch-dinner) so I spread it trough the day.
I like to eat all sugar/complex carbs At breakfast and post workout during a cut because I crave carbs especially after working out and in the morning.
Didn't see any difference between eating shit tons of fruits and yogurt compared to eating only complex carbs.
I usually split 50/50 when on low carb.
Could I be wrong? Sure...

Then how do yoi explain the glycemic index of say a bagel and a tablespoon of sugar?
Eat less, move more. Get it under control now while you're young.
Needles are intimidating at first, but you get used to em.
You do realize meat is HIGHLY insulinogenic. This what I never understood. People would always say that you need fast carbs after working out to spike insulin. But whey protein releases the same amount of insulin as pure white table sugar. Go figure...

I didn't know Meso was cool with ugl handing out advice to members. Guess this fell to the wayside with the "New Meso generation"
I don't believe that eating right after a workout is necessary or not. There is so much talk about this anabolic window right after you work out but I've eaten an hour or more after the gym and I didn't really see any difference.
Never knew about the whey protein and table sugar insulin release rates. Good to know for future times
Because. That glicemic index is calculated alone, what I mean is if you eat sugar without anything else then you will have a glycemic index higher then let's say brown rice.
If you mix protein and fat with sugar the glicemyc index get much lower because it slow the absorption of all the food ingested.
Glycemic index is useless because we mostly eat carbs prot and fat all together all the time. Protein with carb alone slow the digestion compared to only carb. Add fat and it's much much slower and the whole glycemic index it's all screwed up
