When coming out of a 16:8 fast, eating two meals a day is it better to have your biggest meal of the day first and then a lighter dinner or the other way round , eg light meal coming out of fast then bigger meal later on? I’m worried if I eat a big meal first then I’ll feel full & tired in the afternoon and need to get through, kids , work etc What two meals a day do you have that keeps you full and energy consistent?
It depends on your lifestyle, at which time your eating and what your are eating…
I prefer eating my biggest meal at first after fasting, then I’m not hungry all the time…
But it really depends on you and your personal situation
I’ve been eating some carrots or veggies alongside my bigger meal right off the fast so I feel fuller. That way if/when I eat dinner later I won’t over indulge. Been doing 16:8’s and today started 18:6.
I like to eat a good sized meal first which is usually on my work lunchbreak around 2pm or a little afterwards, and then something lighter in the evening for my second and last meal or “dinner” haha.
I do 18:6 and eat 2pm to 8pm but kinda want to stop eating early so I wont have so much food in my stomach before bed, I just like to enjoy a nice meal in the night time though. Mind over matter for me i guess. Yesterday into about an hour and 23 minutes ago I completed my second 20 hour fast and gosh was I hungry, broke it with a bowl of saffron rice with chunky ragu pasta sauce and grated parmesean cheese, random but its what I had.
I eat all kinds of foods so its kinda tough for me to say what I have for lunch lol cause it changes. Tonight its Chinese fish dry pot but thats going out food for a little bit from now.
