when I broke my elbow i wasnt aloud to do anything, so because of that i made myself follow a diet plan. I did this for about 9 mouths while i heeled. but by the end of all this i had gained 20lbs.
MISSRN, That's a big myth that's perpetuated quite often in this industry. You don't have to eat 4-6 meals per day as it has not been shown to increase metabolism.
