True IF and small eating windows makes it too hard to hit protein goals. I keep calories low with protein coffee for breakfast, and only whey shakes before dinner other than a light lunch. That way I usually have hot most of my protein goal by dinner and plenty of calories left to pig out and stuff myself

I wasn’t doing true IF on Saturday, I woke up at 6am but didn’t eat breakfast until 11am. I had a piece of venison jerky at 2 pm then had lunch, and waited til 5 pm to eat dinner. I ate most of my calories later in the day, but I did eat a small amount earlier.

Hence nutrition timing is not bullshit.

Maybe you’re not actually illiterate, maybe you’re just disingenuous? I haven’t decided yet.
Re-read the second line where I said timing doesn't matter and he can do whatever he wants within his calorie allocation because it will not have a material effect on his fat loss or weight gain. Perhaps it's too subtle to read that in between the lines.

You're welcome to decide whatever you wish.
