No, no, it was purely a caloric restriction ploy.

So my fasting window did not prevent consuming liquid protein.

In other words, if I wasn't eating breakfast or lunch, which I wasn't, I was only having a meal a day, which was dinner, but I would still consume protein shakes outside of those windows.

Otherwise I could never hit the protein target.

So I was in a caloric deficit, but an amino acid excess.

And again, you can actually do that with liquid protein pretty easily because basically all you're getting is getting relatively few calories because you're just consuming whey protein.

No, but I did a lot of experimentation.

So ultimately I settled on a brand.

I'm blanking on the name of it now.

I have no affiliation with these guys and I'm blanking on their name.

Ascent maybe?

Does that ring a bell?

I really like them.

Again, I'll give them a shout out because one, it was the only protein I found I could mix directly in water and not have it be lumpy.

I didn't even need a blender.

This sounds silly, but the hassle of me having to like wash a blender twice a day was sometimes an impediment to not making a shake.

So just to be able to put the scoop or two scoops I would usually put into a glass with water and mix it with a fork and actually drink it and have it be totally fine and not lumpy.

I don't know how they do this, but it was amazing.

It actually tasted fine.

I don't like sweet drinks that much, but it was not too sweet and absolutely no GI issues at all.
