For the past two days I’ve been intermittently fasting. I’m doing this so I consume less calories at home because I’m not moving around during the day as much.

My modus operandi is that I only give myself an 8 hour window to eat. I stop eating at 8pm and resume the following day at 12 midday. During the 8 hours I’ve allowed myself some refined carbs but I will try to mainly consume whole grains as a rule. So my fasting is only on days when I don’t work. When I do go to work, I will eat normally and work out either on my bike or by running in my complex.
