Could your body adjust if you separated your macros into meals? Like all carbs for breakfast, all fat for lunch and all protein for dinner? What would happen?

  Most requirements your body needs are over days and weeks, so it would handle things nutritionally just fine.

  As far as microbiome and bowel movements go? Most people need more dietary fiber than they’re getting already. As long as you keep that up so you’re regular and not gassy, you’d be fine.

  After all, the human body is able to graze on roots and berries and eat a big fatty meaty meal once a week, or survive solely on meat and fat and water for 8 months of the year. Macronutrient division by meal is well within that spectrum.

    [off topic?]

    Since you mentioned fiber, I decided to give a plug for wheat germ.

    What’s concern about gas? I was under the impression fiberous foods lended themselves to gas production?

  I don’t know what would happen to your body, but i know these would be the worst meals you’ll ever have

    Carb meal and protein meal would likely be fine… but fat meal… 🤮

      It would be loose, I wouldn’t expect someone to eat a stick of butter even though that is norm in some extreme diets. I’m more thinking along the lines of sometimes you eat 2 slices of bacon, sometimes you eat the whole pack. And yes, sodium would be another issue.

      Cheese chips and guacamole could be okay, but if you can’t have any protein or carbohydrates, that would be difficult.

  flip protein and carbs and you’ll likely be fine.

      There’s far in bread. An only-carbs meal is basically eating straight sugar (glucose).

  Pretty sure the fat meal will just become diarrhea.

  Agreed that the all fat meal would not exit well. It also might overstimulate your gallbladder? I’m not sure.

  Wait… This isn’t how youre supposed to eat?

    I think people could really get into the “10 slices of fairy bread for breakfast, half a pound of cheese product dipped in mayo for lunch, unseasoned boiled chicken breasts for dinner” diet if they gave it a chance

  I don’t have an answer for you, but I do want to say: great question.

  I highly recommend not eating your keyboard. The most commonly-uaed macros probably taste like finger cheese.

    Does that fall under my fat heavy meal or my protein heavy meal?

    • riskable@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think it’s part of a, “stabilizer diet”
