Today, people are very busy and that can make meal times erratic. Dedicated bodybuilders know the importance of not only making the time eat several small meals throughout the day, they also make the time to prepare them.
Therefore, it is of no surprise that dedicated bodybuilders who make the time to plan and prepare their meals are often the leanest, and the results of a recent study suggest why. A recent study has shown that irregular eating patterns promote fat gain.
This study was completed by scientists at the University of Nottingham in the U.K. and it revealed that over weight people have the worst eating habits in terms of maintaining a regular eating pattern.
The people with the highest body fat levels led a lifestyle that involved working all day and not make time to eat regularly; consequently they came home at night and overate every evening.
The results of this study suggest that skipping meals will trigger energy conservation mechanisms in the brain that slow the metabolism. Every time a person skips a meal, it makes the task of getting lean or staying lean, just that little more difficult.
