My 2nd round of IF (intermittent fasting)

Nice! Do you plan on running the fast again?

At some point, yes. I'm planning to use my 'go to' cutting routine to get lean this spring, but i'll very likely start IF'ing again to maintain and/or add some lean mass.

Thanks for this post, if you don't mind me asking, In Intermittent Fasting during fasting state do you consider eating non-caloric food? Like: Asparagus, Broccoli, Carrot, Peppers, Cucumber, Lettuce, Onion, Radishes, etc...

The foods you listed aren't 'non-caloric'. They're low calorie, high fiber foods. They still have a caloric value, and as such, would constitute breaking a fast.

So to answer your question - no. I eat *nothing*. Water, maybe a cup of coffee. BCAA's pre/post workout (while fasted) which is technically also breaking the fast, but the lesser of 2 evils IMO (training heavy while fasted for long period of time).
