Intermittent fasting will benefit beginners. But multiple-day fasting will really boost your energy and help gauge your health or illness, which you can't always perceive when you're eating 3 meals a day. I'm not even sure that eating 3 meals a day is the correct prescription. If you're eating carnivores with saturated fats, organ meats, eggs, you may not even need to eat so frequetly in the day, depending on your stress levels at work or your previous health status.
Thought I think the gentleman below makes sense, I feel uneasy about posting someone whose name I don't know or a post in which the poster can't identify the speaker. Ironically, I guess I am doing the same thing.
The best way to get all your micronutrients in is to have an average daily intake of one or two ounces of liver, one or two oysters, a tablespoon or two of unfortified nutritional yeast, several servings of something rich in vitamin C such as bell peppers or strawberries, and a large volume of potassium-rich foods, such as the lean portions of meat, eggs, and milk; legumes, such as lentils, peas, and beans; tubers such as potatoes; and fruits and vegetables. If you don’t follow these rules of thumb, track your diet in Cronometer (see How to Track Your Diet in Cronometer) to make sure you are hitting all the micronutrient targets. If you cannot meet your micronutrient targets with foods, use a high-quality multivitamin such as Adapt Naturals and Seeking Health Optimal Multivitamin Chewable. If you really want to optimize, run the Comprehensive Nutritional Screening and use the screening and Cronometer to keep tweaking till everything is fully on target.
