Could your body adjust if you separated your macros into meals? Like all carbs for breakfast, all fat for lunch and all protein for dinner? What would happen?
Most requirements your body needs are over days and weeks, so it would handle things nutritionally just fine.
As far as microbiome and bowel movements go? Most people need more dietary fiber than they’re getting already. As long as you keep that up so you’re regular and not gassy, you’d be fine.
After all, the human body is able to graze on roots and berries and eat a big fatty meaty meal once a week, or survive solely on meat and fat and water for 8 months of the year. Macronutrient division by meal is well within that spectrum.
I'd recommend sweet peppers and dried fruit (i like apricots) as snacks for fiber. still tastes great, is healthy, and will help with 'regularity', if needed.
I wonder what an all-fat lunch would even look like. Foie gras and fat bombs with chipotle mayo? Lol. I don't think it would be practical and at worst you'd have diarrhea every afternoon.
According to the label on the bottle, 50 x 1,400 mg soft gels of Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Fish Oil will hit 100% of recommended daily fat in take based on a 2,000 calorie diet, though you might eventually overdose on vitamin A (as retinol).
Realistically, my meals are more like half a chicken for 1, big bowl of pasta with tomato sauce for another, and a big salad with too much caesar dressing for the third. I tell myself it's balanced but I figure those off days aren't great for me.
You would be fine, you could do it for a long time.
All carb meal: spike your blood sugar
All protein meal: no issues
All fat meal: no issues
Fat is totally processed by the stomach/largesmall intestine, none of it makes it to the small intestine. I've done a fat fast before, so I can tell you from personal experience, no issues.
Downsides: eating fat and protein before carbs in a single meal can reduce the glycemic spike of the carbs.
Upsides: since your keeping your carbs to one meal, you only spike your glucose once per day, this is a from of intermittent fasting/time restricted eating. You will actually see improvements in your insulin sensitivity over time.
Note: after the fat and protein meals you will feel full and Happy, after the carb meal you will feel quickly hungry. Carbs are not great for your health, and you can live very healthily without any carbs whatsoever.
It would be loose, I wouldn't expect someone to eat a stick of butter even though that is norm in some extreme diets. I'm more thinking along the lines of sometimes you eat 2 slices of bacon, sometimes you eat the whole pack. And yes, sodium would be another issue.
That's kinda what it expects actually, because for the majority of human evolution we didn't have guaranteed meals at regular(ish) times like we do now and what we did have would vary wildly in nutritional value. there should be no issues except the... aftermath of certain meals.
I think people could really get into the "10 slices of fairy bread for breakfast, half a pound of cheese product dipped in mayo for lunch, unseasoned boiled chicken breasts for dinner" diet if they gave it a chance
