Remember the whole idea of this is to train your body to use its 'fat
stores' for fuel. You certainly should not be trying to cram in enough food/calories in your window to act as fuel to get you through the 19 hours "just in case".
Another benefit of this WOE is you get to avoid that bloated feeling that often comes from eating, eating and eating some more because that is what we have always been told to do. I have found that I am so much more in tune with my body's actual needs with this plan.
Do not eat "just because".
Enjoy the empty feeling that occurs at the end of the 19 hrs.
Also 500 calories is just a number that another poster thought they were consuming. It is definitely NOT what you are trying to get to.
Slow down and listen to your body and feel what it is telling you. It DOES NOT like to feel bloated and it DOES like to have a rest from all the digestive processing that 6 meals a day requires. Relax and don't overthink it.

Subject: [fast5] Just started!
binge eat the entire time. so for example, today during a 3 hour time slot,
i ate about 1600 calories, and now i feel extremely bloated and like my
stomach is going to explode.
i am worried that i won't be getting enough calories to sustain my body,
which is why i end up over eating.
i do not understand how 500 calories (as some posts have mentioned) will be
enough to sustain my body for 19 hours following.
fast five has been very successful in reducing my hunger, as i am not even
hungry when my window
> opens up, but i feed myself because i am afraid that i will become weak
> and have no energy for the rest of the day>
