When you have a limited eating window during intermittent fasting, it’s crucial to make your meals as nutrient-dense and balanced as possible to ensure you're getting adequate nutrition. Also, make sure to stick to your calorie count, or the fasting windows won't achieve your weight loss goals (if that is your fasting goal!). Here is how to ptimize your intake during a short eating window, prioritize:
- Protein: Include a good source of protein in each meal to help maintain muscle mass and keep you satiated.
- Healthy Fats: Incorporate sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil to support overall health and keep you full longer.
- Fiber-Rich Foods: Choose whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes to aid digestion and provide sustained energy.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink water throughout your eating window to ensure you remain well-hydrated. Or of course, the delicious fasting hydration flavored drink FAST:RX!
