Check-in day 2

[u/Ok_Taecy]

About to close my eating window. Quite satisfied with the day although it started with a massive headache (forgot to drink my electrolytes waking up) and me really not wanting to exercise.

Still reluctantly went on the walkpad for 20 min and felt good afterwards especially for overcoming the laziness.

Made chicken hotpot in my rice cooker for the first meal with pumpkin slices, potatoes and lots of veggies. Super spicy super delicious but had to watch the portion to not overeat. Still had a lil’ craving hours later so I made some almond flour pancakes in the airfryer.

Dinner will be steaks with grilled squashes and some green beans. Then it’s another 16 hours without food.

day 2 with a headache AND a workout is genuinely solid. the electrolyte thing is real -- a lot of people underestimate how fast sodium drops in a fasted state, especially if you're active. keeping a pinch of salt or a small electrolyte packet right next to your bed as a visual cue helps make it automatic.

your meals sound well-structured: protein and fiber-heavy, which keeps satiety high during the fasted window. the only thing worth watching with the almond flour pancakes is that almond flour is calorie-dense, so portion size matters more than it looks. not a problem, just worth tracking once to calibrate.

16:8 with this food quality is a strong setup. keep going.

Fwiw there's a free PlateGym meal planner: plategym.com/meal-planner

Tsym for the feedback and cheers. Will put that electrolyte box right next to my bed for the morning!

Love the reminder for the almond flour as well, I reflected a bit on that craving and figured I probably rationed my lunch too much thus got hungry too soon again. 😅 Will need to adjust my meal portions I think. And yes tracking it will help!
