Meal and Training timings

Fasted Training

calculated Note: Training can be performed anytime within the above time frame.

First meal

 

Second meal

 

Third/Last meal

 

Pre-workout meal

 

Training

  Note: Training should happen within 3 hrs from conusming the pre-workout meal.

Post-workout meal

calculated Note: This meal should be consumed within 1 hr from training completion.

Pre-workout meal

calculated

Training

calculated Note: Training should happen within 3 hrs from conusming the pre-workout meal.

Second/Last Meal

  Note: This meal should be consumed with a gap of 8 hrs from the Post-workout meal. As this will end the 8 hr feeding window. Note: This meal should be consumed with a gap of 10 hrs from the Post-workout meal. As this will end the 10 hr feeding window.
For Instance: If your "Fasted Training" started at 01:00 pm and ended at 02:00 pm then your "Post-workout meal" consumption should start precisely at 03:00 pm.
Note: Technically this "2 meals/day with 1 pre-workout meal" configuration won't come under 14/10 hrs fast/feed. As there are only 2 meals a day, one will become pre-workout meal and another will become post workout meal. As Pre-workout meal should be eaten 3 hrs before Training and post-workout meal within 1 hr after training completion, this shrinks the 10 hr feeding window to a 4 hr window. So this setup will become a 20/4 hrs fast/feed. If you want a strict 14/10 hrs fast/feed please go for either a 2 meal configuration(No. of Pre-workout meals=None) or any of the 3 meal configurations.
For Instance: If your "Fasted Training" started at 01:00 pm and ended at 02:00 pm then your "Post-workout meal" consumption should start precisely at 03:00 pm, with this meal your 10 hr feeding window opens. So your "Second/Last meal" should end at 1:00 am, with this meal your 10 hr feeding window ends and your fasting phase begins.
For Instance: If your "Fasted Training" started at 01:00 pm and ended at 02:00 pm then your "Post-workout meal" consumption should start precisely at 03:00 pm, with this meal your 8 hr feeding window opens. So your "Second/Last meal" should end at 11:00 pm, with this meal your 8 hr feeding window ends and your fasting phase begins.
Note: Technically this "one meal" configuration won't come under 16/8 hrs fast/feed, as there is only one meal a day this setup will essentially become a 23/1 hrs fast/feed. If you want a strict 16/8 hrs fast/feed please go for either a 2 meal configuration(No. of Pre-workout meals=None) or any of the 3 meal configurations.

Note: Technically this "2 meals/day with both as pre-workout meals" configuration won't come under 16/8 hrs fast/feed. As there are only 2 meals a day, and both becoming pre-workout meals, one should be eaten 7 hrs before training and the other should be eaten 3 hrs before training. This shrinks the 8 hr feeding window to a 4 hr window. So this setup will essentially become a 20/4 hrs fast/feed.

What Is Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a way to restrict your eating schedule so that you are only eating within an eight hour time frame or less each day. Most people choose the overnight period as part of their intermittent fasting plan, but this depends on what works best for you and your lifestyle! Intermittent fasting can help with weight loss by controlling blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity. It can also help you live a longer, healthier life!

When Should I Eat?

You should only eat during your eight hour feeding window! Intermittent fasting is great for weight loss because it puts you into a fasted state which burns fat, but the key to losing weight with intermittent fasting is sticking to an eight hour eating schedule. If you can manage this then you will see great results!

What Should I Eat After Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a great way to lose weight, but it is not an excuse for you to eat all of the junk food that you want! You should still focus on eating healthy foods like lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates after your intermittent fasting periods.

Do I Need To Exercise?

No, intermittent fasting is great without exercise too! If you would like to include physical activity in your plan then it will speed up weight loss and decrease blood sugar levels even more.

What Times Should I Work Out?

You can work out whenever you want throughout the day! If your goal is to lose weight then it is best to exercise at least five hours before or after a fasted state during which time you will not eat anything.
