Intermittent Fasting and Getting in all your Macros

[Wonderbread1226]

I like the program so far, however having a little problem meeting my macros, having to eat where I am really full sometimes. Anyone having this problem?

If so, please provide a sample of your daily food intake. I am about 182 lb , 5' 7.. Been tough getitng in all my protein without having to resort to drinking shakes. (rather whole food) but dont have time to spend all day cooking.

2 meals containing meat per day usually do the trick + 1 x 45gram shake.

or you could eat breakfast if it helps you get more calories in. No need to force yourself into a smaller eating window.

i can see a sense on doin IF on a cut, but when bulking, just eat whenever, taper calories around workout times, hit macros = profit

IF isn't for everyone. If it's not working optimally for you, there's no reason to do it. The purpose is really suposed to be to make it easier to get in your correct calorie total and macros, so if it's not making it easier, there's no point. It doesn't work for me, I do much better spreading my calories out as much as possible.. makes it much easier to get everything in. Sounds like you might be in the same situatin.

brb not being able to even add a cup of skim milk to my coffee as that will break the fast.
