hi everybody I (20F) just need advice on how to do if with my current schedule!
I've taken up playing rugby this year (which is 1.5 hour 3 times a week, on tuesdays wednesdays and fridays, takes up time from 7 to 9.30 pm) and I think that from february on I might start going to the gym once or twice a week to do some cardio and lifting and gain some muscle and endurance. If I do, this gym's hours are 6-10 p.m. (mon-fri).
Thing is, after training I'm always really hungry, but I can't eat too soon before training (and in particular I can't eat anticipating a 14/16 hours fast), so I wouldn't go how to go down that road.
I've already tried if before, doing the classic "skip breakfast" thing (so I ate between 1pm and 8 pm), and i'm not 100% sure it worked (it was right after the holidays and I had also resumed eating normally -calorie counting- so i don't know if I lost weight due to if or due to going back to my normal routine), but I wanted to try it out again with a more intense workout routine.
Also I'd like your advice on wether I should do this? I have about 30 lbs to shed to reach my main goal (already lost 40 in about a year of this not really mantainable diet, did a post some time ago about that). These past 2 months that I've been playing rugby I've been doing some loose calorie-counting (1600-1800 cal a day, weighing 210 lbs/5'9'') but not limiting my carbs as usual because I craved those too much, and also ate them at lunch to fuel my training, and as a result I've lost a bit of weight (I think, I don't have a scale, but I measure my waist and belly regularly and I've never been skinnier).
I wanted to boost up my weight loss a bit but I struggle with calorie counting cause food becomes all I have in mind when I do that. Plus there are so many surprise nights/lunches out that limiting carbs (i live in Italy) is not the easiest thing for me. That's why IF sounds like a good solution. Obviously I wouldn't be eating like a pig in it, but avoiding too many restrictions could help me avoid bingeing or dodging social events. Only I don't know how to do that...
TL;DR: training from 7 to 9:30 pm 3 times a week and maybe also between 6 and 10 pm from this february, always hungry after having trained and can't eat upon 2 hours from training a 700 cals meal: suggestions for an IF plan?
