I was thinking of doing intermittent fasting 16:8. So in the 8 hour eating window do I eat my all alotted calories?


Also i need my morning tea/coffee with milk to get going, do we skip that in 16:8 system? I do high intensity workout almost everyday and my time is mostly morning.
If you guys have any tips, please share.

Regards,
Pradnya

    To the bolded above:

    Yes, that would be the idea. During your 8 hour time frame, you would want to make sure you're eating the allotted calories MFP has provided you based upon the information you entered in during the set-up process. Whether you eat it all in one go or space out a few meals during that time, is completely up to you.

    I IF with almond milk in my coffee, but purists will tell you that anything with calories breaks the fast.

    Life isn’t so precise as the “purist police” here would have you want to believe. Can’t imagine, though, why anyone would want to “ruin” a great cup of coffee with cream and/or sugar. 😎

    AFAIK, it is fine to eat about 30-50 calories during the fasting period, so a small amount of milk in coffee should be fine.
