Never tried IF, but would I have enough energy to get through conditioning, drills and live training for 2 or 3 hours without collapsing before having my first meal? Also, how long did it take your bodies to adjust to intermittent fasting ie not feeling hungry, irritable, or out of it during the day.
You don't have to train fasted. You can still do an IF of 16 hours fasting and 8 hours feeding window. In fact, Martin on leangains.com, doesn't do fasted workouts with his clients who are training.
One of the protocols he uses is first meal of the day(usually following a 16 hour fast), then a workout within 3 to 4 hours of that meal, followed by the largest meal of the day where you consume most of your calories.
