Today's supper was a surprisingly satisfying serving of guacamole, egg, and broccoli dressed in sriracha. I'm figuring since the guacamole is 100 kcal per serving, the egg is about 80 kcal, and the 1/2 cup of broccoli is about 15-20 kcal, so that all adds up to around 200 kcal. I also ate a handful of sunflower seeds, sucking the salt from the hulls as I split them open, so I went over the daily 200 goal, but hopefully still stayed below the 500-600 mark.
Since my calf has recovered I did my run, and a bit more of the normal exercise routine, but this did mean that I felt hunger pangs, which didn't happen during last week's more staid approach. All things considered I've decided to forego any further fasting and aim for time restricted eating (TRE) for the next five days. While playing around with this fasting thing was fun, I don't want it to interfere with my exercise routine, and if things work out well I may just consider that TRE will be intermittent fasting enough for me.
Some of the sources I've been reading suggest that excluding wheat and similar cereals for ~6 months might be enough to mitigate intestinal damage and restore normal digestive capacity, so I'm going to give that a try.
