Bumping... This is a great read, thank you! I hope to be able to loosen my grip on my 'diet' soon too. IF is helping.0

So I already to the IIFYM thing. I'm contemplating IF for my upcoming cut. I'm concerned about the fasted training stuff (and well coffee w/ stuff in it). I lift in the mornings.
Do you take BCAA's before you lift when fasted? Are they expensive?0 -
thanks for the link!0

I very rarely have to train in the morning but when I do I do take 10g BCAA's before training if I'm not going to be eating for a few hours after.
In saying that, studies have found that if adequate protein intake is consumed daily then BCAA's have negligible if any benefits at all.
I still take them just because I already have them in the cupboard though Mine weren't expensive from memory. About $60AU for a kg which last bloody ages.
Martin Berkhan has said that you can add tspn skim milk to coffees if you wish. They say an upper limit of 50cals during the fasting stage is ok but obviously better to be closer to 0.

Awesome, thanks - I don't think IF is quite right for me but I'm all for IIFYM! (Still working on my macros - but at least now I know where they need to be!) Very helpful article.
I'm intrigued with IF now, though, so I'm going to read up on it a bit.0 -
I'm sorry but if you don't eat clean, you won't drop the fat. And everyone knows if you start skipping breakfast you will lower your metabolism

Clearly you are a pawn for Scott Herman Fitness™0 -
Works for me as well. Been doing both EXCLUSIVELY for the past 10 straight months. Dropped 20% body fat in that time frame.0

I've been doing 16/8 Lean Gains for a year, tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary, and I've lost 73+ lbs, dropped 20% BF, and increased LBM and strength. Key compound lifts have increased 50%+/100lbs +. I'm recomping right now to get to 10% BF from around 14% now, but for me IF is a lifestyle that fits me - I've never been a breakfast eater, and I prefer 2 big meals rather than 5-6 snacks throughout the day. I love having a 1000 calorie dinner feast and a nice snack before bed. I generally only eat lean meats, poultry and fish, along with fresh vegetables, and other whole foods. I very rarely eat any processed food, except for whey protein isolate or micellar casein.
I follow the IIFYM train of thought too, but I try to meet or exceed protein and fiber goals, while just try to meet carbs and fat. If I go over on protein and slightly less on carbs and fat, that's okay with me as long as I don't exceed calories - which I very rarely do.0 -
I believe ACG was joking yes0

Wow!! Nice. I'm seriously considering this... have been for a while. I've done a little of both, but not really in earnest.0 -

Don't worry, I ate two breakfasts this morning just in case.0 -
