Something I've noticed about food lately...
I was intermittent fasting for the last couple of years. I recently started eating breakfast at "normal" times -- which is still on the spectrum of being later than most people -- about 9:30 or 10am. The reason for this is to fuel my workouts for bulk season at the gym.
Now I feel like hammered shit before I get that first meal, as opposed to when I was fasting I felt great on an empty stomach all the way up to around 1 or 2 pm. It only took a few weeks for my body to re-establish its addiction to being fed around the clock, which is the state most people are in -- and probably much of the reason so many people store more fat than they burn.
Even though it goes against conventional wisdom that you need to eat to fuel heavy weight lifting, I'll probably go back to working out on an empty stomach, because it sucks feeling hungry as fuck when I wake up.
