Need help / advice / comments on my intermittent fasting please!

Hi Guys,

first sorry for my English , might not be perfect, im from Quebec , Canada. I’m 35 yrs old , 5foot10 , 179LBS , 22% body fat (my scale tells me this)

I used to fast 1-2 year ago but just read some more on the subject and that I was doing it wrong. I had some nice results , but at this time I drank a bit too much and had too much cheat. Also I was taking my whey protein shake after my workout which I read, broke my fast.

Now that I’m more serious into this I want to try to do it the right way. I’ve been doing since 5-6 weeks 6 meals a day with macros and tracking about what’s going into my body , with only 1-2 cheats meals and alcohol only Friday and Saturday night and the others days super strict. (I know alcohol might slow down a bit my results , but when from 7 days a week to only 2 evening so that’s a start)

I have some results but I find that I might get a lot more with intermittent fasting and of course , less meals prep so more adaptive to by work schedule.

Here is my work and fast routine I’m going to do and also my meals plan , tell me if its ok to have some nice results (Main idea is to shred fast get leaner and build muscle (don’t want to be big bodybuilder , just wanna be cut and lean): I work out 5-6 times a week.

Wake up 6:30 for kids , school etc.

work out 8am to 9am then go to work.

1PM , post work out meal (biggest meal)

4PM , second meal

6PM , third meal small

8PM-9PM, Healthy Snack + Whey

The reason for having 4 lunch is for having less craving and I don’t want to eat too much for one lunch and also I’m a gamer so I usually game until midnight , and before I was taking bad decision around 10PM (quick junk food)

———–

Meals :

1PM : 200g Steak , 125g Basmati Rice , 75g Brocoli , 100g Cucumber (771Cal / 31,8 Fat / 57.4 Protein / 54 Carb)

4PM : 200g Chicken beat , 100g sweet potatoes, 75g brocoli, 40g allegro cheese(545 cal/11gFat/79g Protein/ 29g carb)

6PM : 85g canned tuna, 2 tablespoon light mayo, 100g cucumber, 50g zucchini(224 cal/11,5F,/16,5Protein/13.1 carb)

8PM: 1 scoop whey , 40g go lean cereal , 1 cup almond milk unsweetened (324cal/7.8fat/33protein/31.5 carb)

Total : 1864 cal / 62Fat / 186 protein / 126 carb

————

So I’ll be fasting from 8-9PM to 12-1PM , having a little amino cuts for a boost in the morning.

Tell me what you guys think about it , I’ve read a lot of intermittent fasting for afternoon or evening workout , but my job allow me to have times to train the morning and I love it. So I wanna know if this adapt well and If Im going to shred that fat with all the efforts I’m doing!

Thanks a lot for your time.

It seems like you’re eating healthy. So as long as you stay on a calorie deficit and stick to your eating window then you’ll eventually lose weight. Not sure about the alcohol consumption, but as long as you don’t binge on the weekends as a “reward” for staying healthy on the weekdays then I guess it’s fine. I’m not an expert, also just a newbie myself. Just do what you think is best and you’ll be seeing the results eventually
