Alaudi why drop casein? what you eating before bed time? Cottage cheese?
Animal cuts helped me on my cut during summer, might do an EC stack after winter bulk.

Damn, i am doing IF, and surprisingly it's pretty darn easy.
Buuuut i crapped out blood/shiiiiit today and barely crapping. Not cool bros.
My IF schedule, i'm doing fasted workouts:
Workout-12-2pm(Sometime around those periods)
Drink 2 scoops of whey+ dextrose 20-30g- After workout
Post workout meal-3-4pm
3eggwhites 2 whole eggs, bowl of spinach, 2 chicken breasts, 1/4 a bowl white rice, teaspoon of AB/PB, and an apple-fist size.
My 2nd meal is just the same amount of eggs, tablespoon of AB/PB and a banana or broccoli.
Is this alright? I don't want to add any more carbs for fiber, so what should i replace?
I drink a crapload of water like recommended by the creator, to control sodium, as well.

Looks like you're barely eating. Eat more real food. All I really see is protein
Maybe you should ease into it. It might "feel easy", but it really can be a big shock to your body. Slowly push your first meal back.

I think the recommended daily fiber intake is 30g... what if you go over? I think I might start taking a fiber supp...
and make sure your fasted workouts have a protein source 15mins ahead of time! 10g BCAA is recommended i think, but i just take a scoop of ON whey

Word. Especially for people that are "cutting". You really should be getting the nutrition you need from whole foods. Supplements don't have that satiation factor that whole foods have.
Brett, one thing I learned from the Warrior Diet is about how tastes change how you feel about food and how you enjoy it. You should probably start out with a salad for your first meal. It makes sure you get your daily fix of fiber, plus you get loads of other nutrients. Also, salads are less aggressive tasting, so if you eat something more flavorful after, you'll enjoy both. But if you just ate something sweet first, then ate a salad, it wouldn't taste nearly as good. The first meal should be less intense and aggressive tasting than the others IMO because your taste buds are "reset" when you fast.

So whey is no good then?
Damn. I just started on "my cut" as well and replaced damn near my entire meals with whey.
Any advice on how to get there with regular food and NOT be tired as +%@% at the end of the day?

A low carb diet makes you feel tired bro ^.
It's good tho, just up the carbs a bit on training days and higher fats on resting days, what i do. And i only consume whey before/after(mostly after) workouts.
Ohhhh, 30g of fiber? That must be it i think i'm only getting 18 at the most...but damn, how the hell does the dude expect me to get that much fiber when that postworkout meal gets me so full and bloated.
I guess i'll add some beans and eat a shiiitload of broccoli, no pun.

No.
I eat very healthy it's just that my day starts at 6 and ends around 11 so between a workout, classes and work I have points where my energy dips and I'm not trying to just eat all day or drink energy drinks to maintain. I don't eat processed crap and cook most of my food from scratch.
EDIT:
I guess the question is, how do I lower my carb intake and maintain energy? Is there a food (not supplement) that's best for energy during this phase?

What is a good source of dietary fats?
When you say increase fat, lower carbs, what are you eating MORE of??

Whey is very processed. It doesn't have many of the micronutrients found in whole foods. They're just as important as the macronutrients it provides.
As long as you eat in a calorie deficit, you'll lose weight. Look into Eat Stop Eat. It might be good for your schedule.
brett, why you keep asking about good sources of fats/carbs? Fats: nuts, seeds, dairy, eggs, meat, coconut, avocado, oils
Njcollector, fiber is easy to get IMO if you eat whole foods. Fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, etc. I can eat pounds of vegetables fairly easy.

Do you guys take protein on cardio days? If so, how much? The same amount as lifting days?

From a strength/functional perspective, would it be beneficial to do DB incline chest press on the same day as a BB bench press. Im in a compound programme, but out of my legs, shoulders and chest, my chest is the slowest to grow..
I always bench with a spotter as it gives me a pyschological boost..
