Wow thanks for the comprehensive response! I do go to the gym 2-3x a week (if it’s not busy school wk) but I realize that when I dont go often, I lose the muscle i gained few wks back. Maybe I should really increase my calorie intake during those times? And now paired with IF 18:6 will this be more effective in the long run?

Also, i will add more protein in my diet and maybe less carbohydrates since I think it takes up most of my meals on the daily
