Some of the topics we discuss are: 1.Do you need to eat breakfast to kick start your metabolism? 2.If someone is looking to optimize their results, how many meals should you aim for and do you have to eat every 2-3 hours? 3.How important is timing of meals pre and post workout? 4.Can eating high fat, low carb meals earlier in the day and low fat and high carb later in the day have any metabolic advantages? 5.Does eating at night have a negative effect on fat loss?
