Fast 5 is still working great for me, but I am running into a couple of problems. I typically eat between 2:30 & 3, work out for around an hours sometime between 5:30 and 7. I then cook dinner and eat between 7:30 & 8.
Here is the problem if I eat too much when I break fast I get tired at my desk in the afternoon falling asleep. I also feel tired when I do my workout. If I keep it light (ie not many calories typically around 3-400 calories) I don't get sleepy and I don't feel tired during my workout. Since I don't get done with my workout until close to 7 or after 7, I can't eat until then. I eat too much at 7:30 & 8 I don't sleep well because I'm too full.
Part of the problem is that I have food allergies/sensitivities, and do best eating Paleo (ie no grains,diary, potatoes, or beans). To make it worse I can't have any nuts due to my allergies. Well that and I can't eat avocados, tomatoes, turnips, parsnips, and I can only have a small amount of beets. Fruit I can't have pears,mangos, bananas, and apples I can only have 1 every couple of days or I react. Pineapples I react sometimes. No citrus fruit either. I can only eat so much squash(including melons) without a problem too.
I'm just looking for some suggestions on trying to increase my calories. I'm thinking about maybe cycling yams some days and cheese another to help increase my intake a little. Any other thoughts?
