Intermittent fasting was causing me to lose too much weight. I couldn’t consume enough calories during my feeding window when I was extremely active in the gym. Anyone else have this issue? I’d love to try again but worried about rapid weight loss.

I do IF and probably don’t achieve my muscle mass gaining goals as quickly because of it.

I imagine the trick for you is to add more healthy fats or other ways to increase caloric density while retaining nutrient dense choices.

You’re probably right re: adding more healthy fats to increase caloric density. I was eating a very paleo-focused diet with mostly meat, and some veggies & almost 0 carbs. I was probably consuming ~1,500 calories and burning over 1k with my activity.
