Hi friends, happy Friday. Welcome back. It has been a minute. I was under the weather. I'm still a little nasally and congested, but here we are. I wanted to get a podcast out to you guys for today. So today we're going to talk about something I get asked about every single week, multiple times a week. I've talked about it on some podcasts, but I wanted to have

they're equated for when we're talking about fat loss it will have no bearing on

the time that you eat how many meals that you eat if you had you know five

meals versus one if you started eating at noon or if you started eating at 7 a.m. and

finished your last meal at 10 p.m. It literally doesn't matter. As long as you're not going over

that calorie budget. So adhering to your calorie goal and then hitting your protein goal

and protein being set in a range of 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of body weight. So those two things equated for

that's the most important thing in terms of like trying to dumb it down and really make it simple.

So what I'm going to talk about today gets in the weeds a little more just because it is like
