I go to the gym in the morning, have lunch between noon and 3pm, then occasional small snacking until like 6pm (which I should cut out). And then no food until the next day

Ok, makes sense. My question was how do you maintain the caloric surplus and fast at the same time.

Saying that back to myself sounds bloody stupid.

lmao

its not that hard, really.

Hunger is mostly a meme. You can suppress the feeling and the cravings.

Once your liver runs out of glycogen, you start burning fat for fuel.

The more carbs you eat, the more glycogen is stored in your liver. And the amount that goes over the liver's capacity, gets put stored as fat

I think you're missing the point I'm making, or pehaps I'm just being dense.

Can you remake that point then?

Cause im at work and probably brain was being distracted

If you want to know how you can fast without feeling like death, its mostly about drinking saltwater, in addition to regular water

What about switching and eating only breakfast and lunch then fasting from noon to breakfast the next day?

Your last meal should be max 12h before bedtime

Otherwise the hunger kicks in and makes falling asleep really hard

I try to have my last meal 9hrs before bed

I go to bed no earlier than 12

9hrs or more before bed

Trying to limit myself to breakfast and lunch

Maybe a low carb/carb free snack at night if I absolutely must

I try to limit sugar and caloric intake

RN I don't drink beer or soda

I don't drink soda, I don't eat candy or pastries or cookies

This is what @Ironclad and I are doing. Strong language and music warning

Right, now that I have a moment

Take this snake diet, for instance.

If you are hitting the gym and trying to build muscle

Which requires a caloric surplus

How do you balance that with fasting?

i do carnivore keto diet

i've started counting calories

but I need to work on scheduling my eating so I can do IF

The snake diet is mostly geared for fat loss, although you can exercise while fasted. You will burn fat even harder. I will certainly try working out and fasting simultaneously during winter, when I dont have to bike 30min daily to work. That was I have more control on the pressure I put on my body.

Cole (snake diet guy) has made multiple videos where he yells about being able to work out while fasting, although for now I will stick to omad. He also advised doing 3 and 3. 3 days fasting and then 3 days workout with omad.

omad?

One meal a day

Ahhh

Which means you eat once. And only once. 30 minute eating window. Rest 23:30 of the day is water

Can you have black coffee

@󠀂 󠀂 anything that doesn't have calories is fine

so black coffee and unsweetened tea are fine

Ok
