Let's get into it:
1. Eating 3+ Meals Per Day
Eating too many meals per day not only makes it harder to burn body fat, but it also keeps your insulin from really getting where it needs to be for long-term health.
It also limits the growth hormone secretion you can benefit from.

I recommend Men Over 40 pursue OMAD (one meal a day).
It's healthier from a hormonal standpoint.
FAR easier to burn fat with.
And it will save you 5-10 hrs per week.

8. Multiple (Low Fiber) Carb Servings Throughout The Day
9. Too Much Training Volume
