Nutrition
How It Works: Common formats include the 16/8 method (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating window) or 20/4. During fasts, only water, black coffee, and plain tea are consumed.
The Pros: Simplifies daily meal prep, reduces mindlessly snacking late at night, and naturally helps cut daily caloric intake without meticulous food weighing.
The Drawbacks: Fasting windows can make hitting high protein targets difficult for muscle building, and morning workouts might feel harder for some without pre-workout food.
Best For: Busy individuals who prefer larger, less frequent meals or struggle with late-night food cravings.
