Question to everyone, but without turning it to a 5 pages flame war :
Best diet choice for re-composition : Intermittent fasting / 4-5 spread meals / doesn't really matter ( supposing all choices have the same kcals balance and nutrients) ?
That's not a diet choice, more like diet composition and timing.
You tend to be less hungry when you don't eat
I prefer spreading the meals about, into larger meals. Much more satisfying and good for sleep when you have a large dinner.
And clustering meals post training.
And for older folks, protein needs to be in larger doses per meal to have an effect.
Other than that same calories and nutrients, make no difference with different timings.
A recent study showed that a 100g protein meal was still digesting 12 hours later
So no need to spread meals evenly
