    My current fave post workout meal is those Dempsters oven fresh sub buns with about 250g of chicken or turkey, lettuce, tomato, piles of jalapenos, honey mustard, and salt/pepper. Simple and delicious. I usually down two of them for ~1500kcal.

    Dude, your my hero. That is a lot of food calorie and scale weight wise to munch down in one go.

    Yep. Post workout window has been pretty much been disproven as actually being anything (possible exception for extremely lean elite athletes.) Hit your totals for the day, don't worry about specific pre or post or peri workout meals, just eat normally.

    ^^^This. All exercise does not need to be rewarded with food.

    I tried IF for 2 months a few years ago, but I'm not the spring chicken I use to be and just couldn't make it happen properly and ended up losing more weight than I wanted. I'm just finishing my bulking phase (3300 calories) and ramping up for some fat loss and hopefully lose about 20 lbs.

    You follow carb back-loading? or just a traditional IF style?

    I take in carbs preworkout, but a small amount 30-50g. I'll take in the bulk or remaining post workout

    i keep mine low fat...but i have dinner (usually curry, baked sweet potato, load of vegies), then dessert - homemade pumpkin protein "bread" that i make a banana and honey sandwich out of, with berries and a bit of light coconut milk.

    a whole bunch of eggs, or fish and vegetables.

    Trader Joe's sells flounder stuffed with crab meat. Tastes pretty good with asparagus and some shrimp
