I thought this was the fasting thread....
so please help me figure this out - 1you said 18-6 right? I usually get to the gym around 18:30 to 19:00 and don't get back home before 21:00. this will all change for the next month since I'll be going to a different gym, but that is still the best outlier. if I cap off the eating window at 22:00 that means it starts at 16:00, which means going through almost the entire day on a coffee or 2 and water. this is a bit concerning since I get up around 7, work 'till 17:00if I say end the eating window at 20:00, it would start at 14:00 which is great2 (since that is about the time I eat lunch at work anyway), however it would also mean that after the gym there is no meal and logistically 3a bit more concerning managing to put all the meals while i'm at work (i squat 3 times a week and if i eat something in the hour before it tends to lead to wanting to hurl, especially if it is a max effort or around 90% squat which also means I've got a belt on tight)To give a few figures, I should be eating a baseline of 42000 kcal to be in a caloric deficit plus what ever I spend on cardio (walking to and from work, to and from the gym). Gym days that means 880 extra kcal, off days that means 440 extra kcal. Again, for the next month all days will be calculated as off days since that temporary gym is close to my work. That would bean hitting 52400kcal a day, breaking it down to 3 meals would be 800kcal 6which is oddly difficult when you're trying to eat clean (no sugar, carbs from potatoes, rice, vegetables and fruit, using leaner meats). I have a feeling that this will result in me being one of those guys that packs a mini fridge to work and 7eats every 2 hours like a baby
Actually I had a very hard time eating clean and reaching a specific caloric goal. A big part of that is the lack of availability or ridiculously high cost of some foods that would help out without putting in horrid amounts of the not so good micronutrients. It is one of the reasons why even trying keto for myself for instance is a really bad idea since most of my pay would go on food.
3- I, and many millions of people, do not eat while at work, or have jobs/job sites/environments where it is harder to find a break for eating. I advise you to consider not eating at all during your work hours to improve your efficiency and save time, but I do not know what, where or when do you work or what does your job demand of you

So you're going to start a fasting thread? I'm in!

They are cheap (in season), full of micronutrients absent anti nutrients (for the most part) and go well with almost any other foodYou can buy a bunch of olive oil in big bottles, and veggies with olive oil are easy, quick, portable and nutritious Living in Croatia (sorry for the world cup ) Olive oil should not be expensive, and is keto-friendly (as are many vegetables) Nuts. Lots of protein, healthy fats, fiber, packable(portable, easy to carry and snack on) and very small amounts are highly caloric and tasty. Cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachio nuts and peanuts (though they are a legume) are all good and available most everywhere And most of these are naturally low in carbsEggs, Turkey, Ham, and other sources of protein with high quality amino-acids and excellent nutritional profiles can be had cheap, quick and ready with a bit of planning and appropriate cooking No or almost no carbs, good fat and protein a good, organised fridge and storage room go along way in making healthy eating inexpensive, ready, easy and portableOFC it's much more complex than that, but those are some key pointsand finally, going too fast is never good, be it to gain weight, lose weight, eat healthier, eat better, or change your diet on the whole One ha to go step by step, slow but strong
