Getting Protein in During Intermittent Fasting Hours...

[energizer bunny]

So ive been on the diet for some time now & am gettin excellent results averaging 18 to 20 hrs of fasting with a small eating window where the food is kept clean. Im getting plenty of BCAAs, macronutrients, vitamins, & a few weight loss supps in everyday & i do my cardio sessions while fasted. I also lift after my cardio & have been making steady strength gains so i know im not loosing any muscle mass with the intermittent fasting diet.

The problem is that when i wake up soor as hell, ill start to feel sick if i dont have a protein shake which some people say breaks the fast that started with my 8 hours of sleep. I have 3oz protein shots with 42 grams of protein & even my protein shakes are only 10oz of fat free milk with 52 grams of protein so its not alot of fluid & i drink a ton of water thruout the day.

So my question is really that, does a small shot or shake break the fast, or can i get away with doing so since those soor muscles NEED protein??? If not then how can i shuttle enough protein in when my eating window is always less then 6 hrs???
Thanks!

are you hitting your targeted protein intake for the day in this window?

either way, why not just add the shake or shakes to your window meals?.......

also coffee and full fat cream is good to take in your fasting window, this may help with the feeling sick.
