Hello,

I have a question regarding the number of servings related to metabolic type. Should it be that an individual with a slower metabolism, who digests food longer, would manage, for example, with three servings, whereas someone whose metabolism works faster would have five servings? Or conversely, should we try to incorporate more smaller servings for a person with a slow metabolism to "kick-start" the metabolism, so to speak?

I would also like to follow up on my previous inquiry in the consultation - regarding proteins and weekly diet regimen. If, for example, I include fish twice a week and other kinds of meat 1-2 times a week, on the other days when meat is not in the diet (I am speaking here about omnivores because I know this is a question that is often very important to them - how to supplement proteins without meat?) is it always necessary to have some legumes or quinoa during the day? Or can we choose days without legumes and meat if we have, for example, eggs, nuts and seeds, or cheese... I am mainly concerned about the completeness of proteins.

Thank you very much for all your answers.

By making adjustments to our diet, we have the opportunity to manipulate metabolic behavior, and this applies to the number of meals throughout the day. For example, if an individual's metabolism is too slow, it can be beneficial to support it by increasing the number of meals per day, including reducing the fat content and adjusting the ratio of Ca:Mg and Ca:P. These options are simply available to us, and it is up to us whether we utilize them.

Address the complexity of proteins primarily in specific situations that require it. Typical examples include vegan diets or elite athletes, where the demands for the quantity and quality of protein increase significantly compared to the average population. This does not mean that every protein-containing meal must necessarily exhibit amino acid completeness; the goal is simply increased attention and effort directed in this direction. Every diet plan should be, above all, practically feasible, and your considerations when translating theory into practice should always be based on this.
