01
Training on empty
Most fitness apps assume you eat all day. You end up trying to hit heavy lifts on an empty stomach or cramming food too late at night.
For 16:8 fasting athletes: Keep your fasting window without losing your strength.
Your intermittent fasting workout plan features a five-day strength program and a precise feeding schedule. Meals run a noon-to-8 pm window around a 4 pm session, with the largest meal straight after training.

You: I missed my post-training meal and I'm 50 g short on protein. My window closes at 8.
Your coach: Log it as missed and the app re-portions your window-close meal to cover the gap, cottage cheese included. Tomorrow runs as written; no doubling up.

The problem
Generic plans ignore the window
02
Wrecked morning recovery
Hitting heavy squats at 6 am with zero fuel leaves you flat. Your performance drops when you train hard without amino acids.
03
Missed protein targets
A compressed eating window makes it hard to hit your daily protein. You either fall short or fail to get enough leucine per meal.
The method
How your coach programs for fasting
01
Timed nutrition windows
Three larger meals in a noon-to-8 window, built around a 4 pm session, with the largest straight after training.
Rule3 meals a day means your coach programs fewer, larger plates.
02
Protected morning sessions
If you lift early but do not eat until noon, your coach programs an essential amino acid protocol to support the session.
RuleFasted AM sessions prompt your coach to program essential amino acids.
03
Heavy lifting is fed
The app labels every session as fed or fasted. Your heavy strength days are scheduled inside your eating window so you have the energy to push.
RuleOwn the top of the rep range, then add load.
04
Fasting fatigue deloads
When a tight eating window starts to wear you down, your coach dials back the volume so your body can catch up.
RuleFatigue above 7 for 3 days triggers a lighter week.
Your week

Built to adapt
A plan that moves when your week does.
It reads your recovery
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. When sleep, HRV or resting heart rate say you are under-recovered, today's session gets lighter. Planned deloads follow your coach's schedule, and you can ask for one in chat.
Chat that changes the plan
Travelling, sore, short on time, missed a meal: tell your coach at any hour. It rebuilds the week or re-portions the day, and confirms the change in chat.
Check-ins it acts on
Daily check-ins and progress photos go to your coach, and your plan is adjusted from what actually happened, not what was scheduled.

Questions
Straight answers.
Something else? Ask your coach in chat once you are in. It answers at any hour.
Do I have to eat huge meals?
Your coach sets a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight. Because you eat three times a day inside your window, those meals are larger, each carrying a bigger share of that target.
What if I train at 6 am but eat at noon?
Saturday's session is built for that: essential amino acids shortly before a short conditioning session, then a big recovery meal at noon. On other early days, switch the date to the Fasted-AM Session Day menu and keep heavy lifts inside the window.
How does the coach know if fasting is hurting my training?
The app monitors your training fatigue, hunger levels, sleep quality, and life stress. If your fatigue stays high for three days, your coach schedules a deload.
Will I lose strength on this plan?
The program keeps every heavy session inside your eating window, and each lift has a rep range: own the top of it with two reps in reserve, then add load.
What happens if I miss a meal in my window?
Log it as missed in your meal log and the app re-portions the rest of today's window; your coach can also suggest a casein close to help you reach your protein target.
What do I get for free?

What if it doesn't fit my situation?
