My dietitian convinced me that breakfast was a requirement regardless of my workout routine and caloric goals. I went from 1500 cals to 2200 cals/day but doubled the strength training effort. I have still been losing weight although at a slower rate, which is fine as I'm already under my target weight of 190, so I expect that number to start going back up again.

I usually have to force myself to eat breakfast, but it has quickly improved my morning productivity hitting my macro goals.

I don't know any heavy laborers that eat correctly, most of them have cigarettes and coffee for breakfast and more work for lunch then don't eat until dinner.

I have tried a handful of diets, most of them are restrictive, which helped me lose my big 60lbs but suffered in so many other ways, mostly mentally. For me we have been focusing on a diverse mixed macro diet, at regular intervals, usually 3 full sized meals and 3 protein biased snacks.

I'm basically in a part time college course with this nutrition work lol. She gives me homework, there's a textbook (she just gives me pdf snippets of) slides and everything XD. She is an active prof at UPenn so I guess that's where it comes from

i just went through 3 days fasting... because i've got type 2 now, i went straight into ketosis, it was pretty rough, but i eased back to eating... however, i am convinced that i'm going to do another 3 day fast until i go keto again, i think it's good for me because i have been feeling much better since

Type 2 diabetes?

That's hard.

I was just reading about a German professor that is prescribing 2-week fasts, to treat diabetes.

That's what got me thinking about what I was doing differently before, when I was losing weight instead of gaining. I was sticking to the 8-hour window and going for a walk every day.

And I ate more complex carbs and less meat.
