One and a half meals per day is one of my favorite intermittent fasting strategies.
I call it OMAD 1.5.
Instead of eating three meals and snacks, I’ll have one small protein-focused meal and one larger dinner.
I use it while traveling, on vacation, after a big Saturday night, or anytime I want a lower-calorie day without feeling deprived.
The goal is simple:
Keep calories lower.
Keep protein high.
Stay consistent.
If you’re over 50 and want to lose 20+ pounds of stubborn body fat without living in the gym, comment COACH and I’ll send you information about my private coaching program.
