    Intermittent fasting is a good tool to help take in calories. Of course this assumes you’re consuming mostly whole foods. If you eat a lot of higly processed food you can still ingest way too many calories, even with a small eating window

      Since January, I have stopped consuming any calories other than what comes in my non-sweetened tea until lunch time. You wouldn’t believe how my stomach bothers me while waiting!

        Still bothers you and it’s been so long? Damn… I’ve been doing it for a month and I’m already used it.

            How close to bedtime do you eat? I eat milk curd (21g of protein) mixed with protein powder (42g) around 1h before going to sleep and i wake up fine.

              We usually eat at 7:30, though I tend to snack afterwards. It’s very confusing for sure.
