Sorry, to answer your question more directly, there is a chance the second meal will cause fat gain, but this is dependent on a lot of factors. If you eat close to bodybuilding levels of carbs, then yes fat gain usually occurs to a small degree. There's a good chance you'd burn off this extra fat in the following down cycle, but if you're really serious about losing fat then go with the one meal =)

 

Cheers,

On the general eating plan, Rob says on page 140, "If, when the time comes to carb-load, you have a desire to "pig-out" then you will not want to split."

 

The only reason to split on the general eating plan is if you're not feeling hungry or if you can't tolerate the minimum number of carbs in one meal.

Is it a bad idea to "pig out" during the second meal of the carb load
on the general eating plan? Will this cause fat gain due to the
increased level of insulin from the first meal?
