Just finished reading TC Luoma’s article on Time-Restricted-Plus dieting. For the most part this is what I’ve been doing - having my first meal right around 8am, and not eating anything after 8pm. I’m assuming that I need to get all of my calories in this 12-hour window, but I honestly struggle with consuming 1800 - 2000 calories a day! On a good day I might be able to get 1200 (not subtracting ‘exercise’ calories), but on some days i’m only consuming 800 - 1000 while feeling ‘full’. Obviously I’m not getting nearly enough protein at this level (I’m about 200lbs, 5’10", so should be getting about 200 grams a day). How does everyone get enough calories/protein/etc. in a 12-hour window without just stuffing themselves?
TIA.
