Thanks for your response.
I have been tracking macros for years but have left out nutrient timing for a while now. After reading some more research on the effects of insulin, GH, and test, I figured it's worth a shot.
Still eating the same amount of calories, just pushing breakfast back a couple hours and eating a larger dinner so I am not hungry for my fasted training in the morning.
Question for you - is your window the same everyday (mine is 9:30am-5:30PM now) or does it change on certain days? I stay up later on the weekends so I would be tempted to start my window later in the day.
