Protein optimization trumps fasting!

Gang you know I love Intermittent fasting! I fast for 14-16 hours most days! However, I big mistake I see people making is prioritizing fasting over protein consumption!

This is a big reason I am not a fan of fasting for longer than 16 hours because spacing out and hitting your protein goal matters!!

While away from home this week hitting my protein goal has been hard. So today when the fam wanted to grab breakfast at 10am I knew this was the perfect time to get ahead of my protein goal for the day.  Eating at 10am meant only a 12 hour fast due to a late dinner last night.

Many believe that fasting would have been the better choice but if weight loss is your goal, then eating is a better choice!

There are so many different strategies we implement in the LEAN program and understanding how they rank in importance matters!

So sitting here at 11am with 39 grams of protein in the books and filling full at satisfied to take on the rest of the day!

Which do you think more important, fasting or protein?
