Day 4 of Intermittent Fasting (IF)
Woke up, and all I did was drank 130 calories (this is very little for a pre-workout) and headed to the gym. Surprisingly I still manage to maintain my strength. Even Sherhong was surprised at my 2nd set of bench press, I was able to perform it entirely by myself without her help. She was surprised because in the past 14h, all I had was the 130 calories. I guess the trend of eating a real good energizing meal before a workout for optimal performance isn't that solid.
After gym, I decided to walk home as a form of cardio because I had so much time, it was about 1045 then and my next meal is at 12pm. If I went home too early, I'll be thinking of my hunger so I walk walk walk. 1115 I reached, still too early, so I decided to head to the fitness corner, do some pull ups and abs, reach home 1130, do some forearm with my house dumbbells, bath at 1145 and just nice 12pm I CAN EATTTTT! Well, that's one way to deal with IF's hunder.

Anyway for those wondering about my meals during IF, here's how it looks like:
On workout days I should take about 2600 calories (about 145g of protein, 300g carbs and 100g of fat, but I don't care about these, I just count the calories coz I can estimate my macronutrients)
And on rest days, I'm supposed to take lower carbs , same levels of protein and a higher fat to a total of about 1700 calories.
Calories per meal is in brackets.
WORKOUT days = 2573
calories
Rest days = 1715 calories

There you have it! Today's one is still incomplete, yes I know, its tiring to be FULL ALL THE TIME! 8h of fullness, still feels good though!
Anyway, I've not been training squats for a really long time already. If you can trace my blog posts to all the way back, about June-July period (I think, around there lah), where I had my UR module, you'll know that Sherhong was one of the reasons I stopped squats. Ironically I'm teaching her right now haha. Usually gym goers workout least thrice a week, my routine enables me to go twice a week without training legs. Saturday, being my spare day, I might consider doing squats or making it an ab day, after all, time is precious and might as well do something right?
Honestly, IF has restricted me from quite a number of things, such as basketball at night. But the author wrote that a day or two of "cheating" the fast should be alright, but its good to maintain consistency. I guess I should select my 1-2 days carefully then :D
