IF on HOLD for now

lessons learned from IF:
- I didn't feel hungry early in the morning.
- always tried to be done eating by 6pm, but then was always feeling heavy and bloated for the workouts and especially for gymnastics.
- Tried forcing more calories in earlier in the day, but this resulted in massive drops in energy, feeling of lethary and bloatedness again. I also tended towards more concentrated carbs to get the calories in.
- recovery was crap too, I was always sore for days
- lack of energy made workout performance sub par.
- was aiming for 16 blocks with 3x fat. most of the fat was from cococut shreds and macadamia nuts.

THE PLAN for at least a week... Starting August 14th....
Eat whatever, whenever, keep it paleo as much as possible and try to eyeball around 16 blocks of protien per day, don't worry about timing, zone proportions or fat intake. Track the food anwyay to get an idea of what happens on this approach
