Anyone here do One Meal A Day Fasting?

Looking for a healthy yet filling meal to enjoy once a day in the 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM range, with it more than likely being around 6:30 PM after workout.

Alot of times in the week I do...sometimes it's a snack and then big meal within 2 hours so basically the same. With only one meal the beauty is you can incorporate any big meat and potato combinations.

Cook an entire box of hamburger helper if you want

Also, can you drink coffee on a fast? I drink mine black so it's just flavored water...right?

If it's just one or two cups yea I wouldn't worry about that.

i do IF and sometimes end up doing OMAD

I do start snacking around 2 with an apple or fruit. Have a protein drink around 4 and then dinner around 7

Yeah just two cups in the morning. Good to know it's allowed.

I do that once every 4 days on my rest/cardio day. Essentially I do a 24 hour fast. For instance I'll eat dinner tonight at whatever time, and then won't consume any calories until dinner tomorrow. I usually find my body is craving carbs on that day so I'll make a cajun/rice dish tomorrow night to replenish the energy stores before lifting again on Saturday.

It's pretty hard to go 24 hours that often. I only do it when it falls on a work day. When it falls on a weekend I just do carnivore for the day instead. I've been doing this for about 3 months now and I've had some pretty positive results.

I've done it regularly for nearly 10 years. My wife has for around 8 years. I used to be very very strict about the one meal a day. Now I usually have an eating window and have a snack around 4 or 5 pm. Then dinner at 7pm or so. Then nothing to eat after that.

I've started working some 48 hour fasts in lately as well. I really want to do a 72 hour, but I think I'll have a hard time at work. Even with a 48 hour, I've noticed that I get a little distracted feeling in work meetings at hour 42 or so.

Oh, as for what to eat: basically anything. I would caution you against going absolutely nuts during the feeding period, as you can pretty easily hit your BMR+ caloric intake if you're not somewhat prudent.

I do. Eat everyday from about 6pm to 8pm. Sometimes a snack around 10pm, if still hungry. I drink 4-5 sugar free, caffeinated soft drinks during the day.
I have lost 60 pounds over the last year but I have stalled for the last 3 months. 310 to 250. 6'5".
I'm open to criticism or tips.

I do something similar to hogfly above where I have a 1-2 hour eating window. I try to follow a combo of paleo and keto when I do eat, so usually a salad with a ton of Avocado and olive oil based dressing, and maybe a grilled fatty piece of meat.

I do this, because once I start eating, I'm pretty much useless the rest of the day. I get sleepy and it's all downhill from there.

Pushing my eating window back to like 7-9pm allows me to get everything done for the day, and then I can eat and relax before bed. Keeps my energy levels super high, and I feel great all the time.

Two.
