Hey
I want to try intermittent fasting with an eating window 11am-6/7pm
A few days a week my workouts are on the evening at 8pm, would it be ok to keep my fasting even if I am working out?
Dont dont really want to make my eating window any later??

I don't want to negatively impact my workout, it will be strength training so wondering if I should have a snack after my workout days to help with muscle recovery?

These workouts will be 3 days a week, so I'm thinking maybe have a protein shake on these days after the workout and stick to the usual fasting on the other days

I do 5 2 and train as normal in fast days and it makes no difference. We wouldn't have been able to survive as a species of we were physically incapable of strenuous activity because we hadn't eaten in the last 2 hours.

It has nothing to do with what you have eaten before hand - it is what you eat after. Protein after exertion repairs muscles faster and protects and improves strength. As a species we would have had protein quite quickly after a successful hunt.
