Try being at approx 8%-9% body fat, ghrelin is through the roof, hunger is unbearable.
I was skeptical too. IF is awesome for ghrelin control.
I don't feel any hunger at all - fasting blunts hunger.
Martin promised this and Martin delivered. I would be dying right now on a regular meal schedule, one week ago I was miserable, felt like a bottomless pit and if I didn't have my will-power, motivation and accountability before people who read my log, I'd start binging.
I am not saying that IF is superior. But it did for me what I needed at that time.

do you train in the morning? I would like to hear how some people incorporate IF with training in the afternoon. Once I get my diet/macros down, id like to give IF a shot, but I train after work @ 6. I'm not a morning person and i'd be miserable waking up at 5 every morning

Being strong and fat is like being skinny with abs. Neither of them count

This is taken directly from leangains, I mean, I am not making this sh.t up:
One pre-workout meal
This is the most common setup for my younger clients that are still in college or have flexible working hours.
Sample setup
12-1 PM or around lunch/noon: Pre-workout meal. Approximately 20-25% of daily total calorie intake.
3-4 PM: Training should happen a few hours after the pre-workout meal.
4-5 PM: Post-workout meal (largest meal).
8-9 PM: Last meal before the fast.
Two pre-workout meals
This is the usual protocol for people with normal working hours.
Sample setup
12-1 PM or around lunch/noon: Meal one. Approximately 20-25% of daily total calorie intake.
4-5 PM: Pre-workout meal. Roughly equal to the first meal.
8-9 PM: Post-workout meal (largest meal).

Currently doing the first example, fast from approx 9-10pm through till around 1-2pm. Have approx 1000cal meal, then train 5-6pm and dinner after and then snack before bed (depending on how big dinner is). This suits me because I like my sleep and I like my tucker. So I can sleep right up untill I need to go to work (7am) and when I get to eat after I train it's over 2000cals : ). I'm slowly putting on weight with minimal fat gain. Hitting Daily cals pretty spot on.
Also is this the ultimate nutrition section thread. Not one but two of the most common thread topics combined. (I'm sure its not the first or last time)
