What fasting window is safe but still effective?

I've done OMAD the past couple days and really enjoy the fasting, but I don't like having to eat a giant meal as I don't want to trigger disordered eating behaviors. I've been at a weight loss plateau for a while since I struggle on standard CICO (3 meals a day with snacks) and find myself constantly white-knuckling or going at or a bit past my maintenance calories. Should I try 2 meals a day no snacking? In a smaller window or a wider window? 18:6, 20:4? I heard that the longer the better to burn through glycogen stores or something but idk. I really like the fasting part I just don't want big portion sizes. Can I try longer fasts, 32 hrs or so, and eat maintenance calories on other days? What is best for my situation? For more context, I'm female, slightly overweight, very short, and lift 3 times a week. And how much protein is the bare minimum? I struggle to get more than 60 grams usually and that could be because I'm vegan and don't eat much processed food. via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/702FyGV https://ift.tt/L5rpT1J
