This might not work for you but it works for me:

I do intermittent fasting (16 hour fast and an 8 hour feeding window) every day. I workout in the last hour of my fasting and then eat my biggest meal of the day.

My typical schedule goes like this: -My last meal (usually a protein shake or cottage cheese) right before 9:00pm. -I wake up and have tea -At 11:45 I head to the gym and workout for an hour or more -At 1:00 I eat my biggest meal -For dinner I just try to have a regular sized portion of food

I try to keep my protein and carb intake around the same amount of grams and keep the fats somewhat low. On the weekends I fast, but I don’t workout and I try to lower my carbs (this usually doesn’t happen though).

What I really like about working out at lunch is that I get away from the office and it makes me feel focused and fresh for the rest of the day.
