Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting (e.g. 16/8 — eating within an 8-hour window) is one way to cut calories. At equal calories it doesn't burn more fat than a normal diet; it suits people who find it convenient.

• Split protein over 2–3 meals in the window (30–50 g each).
• Train inside the window or near its start.
• Water, tea and black coffee are fine while fasting.

Not recommended with diabetes, ulcers, eating disorders, in pregnancy or for teens.
