Intermittent Fasting

[Bouncer]

Have you seen a women's version of that chart?

Had my bf checked by a trainer at the gym last week using calipers..She said I was just over 8%

Take that with a grain of salt. Those schmucks told me I was like 5% or some dumb shit. Those calipers are worthless.

Post your current diet (not the fasting crap) and I will tell you what I would add or take away.

I had a personal trainer check my body fat percentage couple of months ago using calipers she told me my body fat percentage was 8% However I know I am nowhere near single digits.

Exactly.

way different from the one I posted, wow. The 30% girl, perfect example.

this website gives this for men -

I don't think that one is very accurate for the men at least. Not enough difference between 3% through 10%. They all have different builds but in terms of bf% the difference is much bigger between 3%-10% then that chart shows.

Meal 1 - 2 scoops whey, 3 fish oil caps, 1/2 cup oats

Meal 2 - 8oz tuna on one slice white bread

Meal 3 - 8oz chicke breast, 2 scoops whey, broccoli

Meal 4 - 2 scoops whey, 3 tbsp peanut butter

Meal 5 - 8-10oz of tuna or chicken breast, 3 fish oil caps, lettuce salad

Meal 6 - 2 scoops whey, 3 tbsp peanut butter, stick of string cheese :)


This is roughly what I would consume prior to this fasting deal..Also notable that I now work out at 5am rather than 4pm...This was nice with the new diet as I find it hard to choke down some food prior to hitting the gym that early..Any thoughts there as well?

I wouldn't bother... Ive tried it all... it all really comes down to cardio and diet. If your someone who puts on fat easily or is fat then maybe try the low carb + fasting bs. I found over the years of experimenting that just eat a balanced meal of carbs, protein and fat was the best route. Ditch the shakes or just 1 shake per day.

This is a waste away diet. You need to pick an energy source and diet slowly. You are trying to drop the cals to much by dropping both carbs AND fats. I know for a fact this diet would eat away my muscle and slow my metabolism.

Meal 3 is a mess. To much protein in 1 sitting doing nothing for you, drop the whey.

If it were me and considering you train so early. Meal 1 would be 2 scoops whey and oats with some quick carbs like dried fruit to fuel the workout. That would be the only carb meal of the day. Every meal after that would have a protein and fat source. Not just fish oil. I am talking 15-20 grams of fat per meal.

Thanks for the advice..I'll make the adjustments..Any suggestions on foods to get the extra fat in per meal?

Also, considering \I do work out so early in the day, I really dont' get up much earlier than I have to, is it ok to eat that first meal 15-20 minutes prior to my work out or do I need to wait a little longer?

Fatty protein source like steak, salmon, lean ground beef, ground turkey..

Ideally that first meal would come an hour before the gym but I don't see it being a big issue.

Lol I would listen to B on this one.

Intermittent fasting is one of those things that sound good on the paper, and when it comes to do it, it must suck balls.
