Good luck with that. You could link to real studies and people on revscene will say stupid shit like "OMG, you think you're so smart because you linked to a study, but you're WRONG because my cousin who knows everything says so. So there!"

Just breathe... and accept that there will be a lot of stupid people spouting stupid shit everywhere you go.

The problem is, for every well-done study that shows correct information, there are 10-20 horribly done studies, manipulated to show what "everyone knows" about nutrition. You can even look at the exact same study, and see how its figures are twisted and manipulated to show what they want. If you leave the figures alone, it's a completely different outcome.

As long as that continues, it will still be "everyone knows" salt is bad for you, "everyone knows" fat makes you fat, "everyone knows" etc. Meanwhile, we get fatter and sicker than ever before, dying from diseases that never existed just decades ago

And not everyone is willing to spend the time reading about study design and beyond the abstract to see if they ARE good studies let alone come up with their own conclusions from data.

The reason that people fall back on the "everyone knows..." is because they're lazy.

Take intermittent fasting as an example on revscene here. You have basically everyone in this forum except for me and sonick saying "OMG, 6 meal a day or your muscles get catabolized!" while a large body of research has shown that oh wait, that's not true. In fact, more protein in one sitting could actually be better than protein multiple times a day.

Everyone wants shortcuts and this is one way they do it. If you keep arguing with idiots, the only thing that will happen is that you'll repeatedly wondering how people can be so dumb

I've read that eating 6-7 meals a day increases insulin levels in the long run (Tnation). But i do believe that only so much protein can be utilized at one time.

Thats a bunch of crap, your body just doesn't not process protein after a certain amount in one sitting. I wouldn't worry about meal timing i'd worry more about getting enough calories by the end of the day to make your muscles grow, hitting enough protein and fats while doing it. You want to do that all in one meal, go ahead if you can stuff it down.

btw how do i get thanked and failed by skinnypupp in the same post lol

Omg...this went from a topic about fast food to a fascist discussion optimal nutrition. Im just gonna stick to the Sex/Relationship forum and hang around the masturbation topic...At least there is nobody there telling me theres a wrong way to kill my boner.
