    IF works a hundred percent once your body is in that calorie deficit its simple. What people need to figure out is are they eating the correct calories for an AFL aggressive Fat Loss M maintenance or LB lean bulk.. But what I've found is yes 16:8 is bang on I IF everyday and I am going around 19-20 hours and eat for about 3 hours. I eat potatoes in every form possible as I feel rice at times makes me hungry later but I eat what I want within reason I enjoy good good pizza, burgers everything and I've lost 9lbs with limited effort but now the real.journey behind with this app as I can correctly track my calories it says I can eat up to 2600 cals but I'm going AFL first so my calorie intake maximum will be about 1800 - 2000. The correct combination of foods will allow good some delicious recipes and satisfying feeling of being full

    your body can only burn so much fat a day in a deficit. if you are losing fat aggressively then you are losing lean mass/muscle if you are losing weight too fast. too big of a deficit will do you NO favors and you may see your performance in your workouts suffer as well as possible health issues cropping up.

    Is this a good idea if I want to put on muscle? Does meal timing matter that much in a lean bulk or bulking?
