Good luck bro you'll get there!Who thinks that if you eat your calories in a smaller window vs eating them evenly spread out the whole day makes a difference or not? For example go to bed at 10 pm and don't eat from 10pm that night till say 16 - 20 hours after. Or wake up at 7 am the next day and eat your calories evenly spread. WHO THINKS THE RESULT WILL BE SAME SAME IN TERMS OF HOW YOU WILL LOOK OVER SAY A 2 MONTHS? maths says calories in vs calories out. What do hormones say and results say?
Could very well make a difference.

Thank goodness I don't have to choose one or the other forever.
This. Amen. All of it... including lazy book days .
I have an intense love/hate relationship with cardio, but I've found that Shaun T's workouts really make me happy (/miserable, lol) and with them if I wanna eat more, I can eeeeasily do so. Which is something beautiful. And when I stumble upon lazier/tighter schedule days, I just really track dat deficit. Two available ways to choose from = )0 -
