The first lesson in this week's Muscle PhD Academy on meal frequency looks at the effects of meal frequency on muscle mass. <!-- /react-text -->
<!-- react-text: 42 -->In this study researchers had bodybuilders fast for 15 hours per day and eat for only 9 hours per day for 4 weeks. The bodybuilders also trained at an intensity high enough that maintained their strength; ~65-75%. What they found is that during the 4 weeks they didn't lose any muscle mass! There was also a trend for the bodybuilders to lose body fat! <!-- /react-text -->
<!-- react-text: 44 -->The take home message is that meal frequency may not be as important as you think to maintain lean muscle as long as training intensity is high enough
