IF when growing muscle?

Is it better to have a bigger time frame for eating when lifting?? I feel like it might be a bad idea to do 20:4 because a workout would have to fit right between. I assume you should eat before and after a strength training workout? I’m curious to know peoples thoughts on this. Thanks

Answer

Yes, larger window, like 16:8 or 15:9. Preferably break after your resistance training session. Lots of high protein meals throughout your window to get your surplus calories in and to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

Answer

I would atleast eat two meals for better protein absorption. You can easily make that work with a 18/6 or 16/8 protocol.

I like to eat my first meal a few hours before my workout, so my stomach isn’t full of food.
