Here's my dilemma: I have to train early in the morning before my shift. On the job site, its a struggle to get meals in just because work is hell and breaks are few.
From a convenience perspective, the notion of not having to worry about meals during the work day is appealing, but am looking for opinions on the notion of the following and how it would support fat loss & lean gains (I'm just a hair over 200 Lbs, appx. 12-13% bf).
Fast from 1900 until 0400 (my time of awaking).
Coffee (black) and either a small amount of protein or some BCAAs before training.
Train from 0430 until appx. 0530
Post-workout, protein shake and a meal (likely egg whites and a bagel with some natty peanut butter or coconut oil for healthy fat).
Head for work, water & coffee all day.
Return home appx. 1700 hours, resume eating until my macros are met or until 1900, whichever comes first (pretty likely I'll get my macros in...I love to eat...)
Lather, rinse, repeat. This effectively gives me two 10-hour fasting windows and two 2-hour eating windows per day.
Thoughts?
