I'm aware this is a fairly common problem and there may be other threads but I couldn't find any...
I've been doing 5:2 or sometimes 4:3 for a few weeks now and starting to find the fast days much easier. Problem is with the NFDs - I am not exactly sure of my TDEE (get soo many different answers with the online calculators) but pretty sure it is well under the 2200 or so I tend to eat .
I find the urge to "treat" myself on NFDs hard to ignore. It's not that I eat much junk or binge as such - portion control and chocolate cravings after every meal are my main enemies, also feeling hungry by 5/6pm so having a large snack, then still needing dinner later.
Has anyone managed to conquer this? Thanks in advance
