      Eat when you want. Don't purposely starve yourself just to do IF.

      Should I try IF?

      in the 3-4 hour range post-eating, up to 16-18 hours, your body uses FFA metabolism as a source of energy. After that it starts using muscle as well.

      IMO though it shouldn't make a huge difference, but then again I been faithful with IF

      edit:
      muscle synthesis is in the "negative" range during exercise, unless you're supplementing with protein (leucine is the best, followed by BCAAs) pre and intra-workout.
      it makes a difference

      BCAAs are nice when training fasted, but you don't need them. You wont go catobolic from ~16 hours without food, even with exercise in there (unless you run a marathon or something); it takes about 3 or so days without food before you hit any real catobolic state. So if you don't want or can't afford BCAAs then it isn't a big deal.

      You can never know if something works for you unless you try it!

      I like the fasted training part of it & being able to eat huge amounts of foods. Should definitely try it.
