So, I have been checking out threads and some of the links provided, and I am very seriously thinking about starting IF next week. I think the 18/6 plan with two meals prior to my workout would work great for me. I am intended to keep my caloric goals the same as they are now (1000 calorie deficit), but I will look to eat 20% @ meal 1, 20% @ meal 2, and 60% @ meal three.
Anyone have any recomendations on my macro percentages and/or what the macro makeup of the post workout meal should be? Or any other tips/advice for me???

Tim, I would go on the IF support thread and ask them. They are all really experienced and helpful.

Yeah, I did that yesterday and haven't gotten any response. I thought I'd try it this way instead of bumping the heck out of that thread. I don't want to irck anyone.0

Experiment and find what works best for you. There is NO universal answer to your question.0 -
Alright, thanks mynameisuntz! I recognize that there needs to be some experimentation, but is there a guidline for this that I've missed? I'm wondering what my starting place should be.
Also, is the a recomendation for macro's on rest days? It seems like the suggestion is to reduce carbs on rest-days, but maybe I'm mis-interpreting that?0
