How would y’all track a pound of brisket from LA 23 or Blue oak?

if you don't have the sauce on it, just do usda value for 12oz of raw brisket usda values. Will get it close. then whatever sauce you have, guess on it.

BTW both of you realize IF doesn't allow you to burn fat, its just an eating strategy right? Any weight loss is just from caloric restriction not the time restriction.

---

Yes :) it helps control my appetite, so I’m taking in fewer calories than normal. I don’t go nuts during my 8 hour window.

I’m doing 16:8 now. I’m keeping an eye on how I feel to make sure I don’t throw things out of whack. I went too hard with IF the first time I tried it a couple years ago, and felt pretty cruddy after several months. On the plus side, I lost 25 lbs quickly and have kept it off for the most part.

I've been doing 16:8 too, I've been doing the gym from 4:30-6:30, so I'm starting the feeding window at 7ish in the morning, and not eating after 3, so that I know my sugar is not spiked during workouts, which should hopefully make them more effective correct? I'm eating at a 1500 limit, I know thats a pretty decent deficit for my weight, most days I come pretty close to that, and I know I'm firmly in ketosis. not losing as fast as last time, which is frustrating, but I'm trying to not let the mental game frick my attitude up. haha

Well for fat loss sugar doesn't matter. Only daily protein and weekly calories and i day it doesn't matter because in the long run studies show so long as calories and protein are accounted for, the rest doesn't really matter to an extent that will make a difference of the Long haul.

Now if what you are doing makes you feel good fine. Optimally you would carb back load any carbs after your workout while nutrition partitioning is highest. But again in the long run that doesn't even matter really. So if what you are doing is working for you and allowing you to be compliant and consistent, keep doing it. Just make sure you are getting enough protein.

You guys follow one another there? sometimes I feel like my aversion to MFP may be that I dont talk to anyone about it, theres nothing to keep me accountable or motivated to keep doing it.My friends are lazy fricks. I need a competitive tracking app I think ?

---

Yea we follow each other.
More than welcome to follow me, username is same as my screen name. I don't always log but I go through spurts where I do.

Same here.

I had a looong log streak, about 1.5 years, for a while but missed on vacation once and have never been quite that consistent with logging since.

Nothing. I'll try and do it tomorrow and maybe we can get a sticky. But it's been really hard to get stickies over there.

On my annual health kick where I lose a pound a day for about 20 days.

Question.

How do y’all curb those late night snack cravings? It hits me about 9:00 and one night I tried to resist. I think I almost passed out.
I’m like an addict that can’t get his fix.

What’s the secret?

Chug a bottle of water and see what that does, if you’re still hungry, then you’re legit hungry and you should eat something, just pick something healthy.

So not gonna make that thread tonight. 24 hours into the fast now, about to do last two sets, a little ring work and then quick shower and bed. Need to sleep off the insulin induced hunger.
