Intermittent fasting and protein shakes

[karagoz277]

Hi, I have started to do intermittent fasting for a few days and i am so confused about protein shakes. I usually go to sleep at about 4 am and wake up at about 12 so I go to the gym at about 1 am and after that i have whey and casein protein before bed. I know protein shakes have calories but I don’t know what should i do ?

There is nothing "magic" about IF. IF helps some people time/schedule their eating so they eat less in a deficit due to not eating when not really hungry.

Drink your protein shake when it best suits you. There are advantages, in fact. to spreading your protein intake throughout the day.

Fasting means you take in no calories. Have you done any research on IF? Seems like you don't really know what it is.

Why do you want to do IF? It doesnt boost fat loss, testosterone, or growth hormone, so there is that.

IF is simply a meal timing protocol. It doesn't outperform a traditional diet. All weight-loss diets are based on the same principal: take in less calories than the body uses daily. It's that simple.
