A work out (partially) depletes glycogen depots.
That needs to be replenished before you will build muscle. Depleted muscles will not grow.
So, first sugars, and then protein and more sugars.
The thing is: if you workout in the morning and your main meal is at night, how do you consume your food?
That does not go well with IF.
You better work out in the evening.
That is because you need to replenish glycogen after a work out, and protein is best consumed at night, to optimize its use for reconstruction purposes.
Protein consumed in the morning will be used for energy when fasting.
Is eating only yolks after working out ok?
Yes, if preceeded by sugars.
The problem is that I usually feel hungry twice after working out.
Exactly!
First comes your hunger for energy to replenish glycogen (sugars)
Then comes the need for protein, along with more energy to sustain the constructional use of the protein.
I'm thinking about ingesting yolks because they seem pratical. Don't know if they are the optimal protein intake though
Yes, their protein quality is very good.
if I workout at night, how the post workout meal should be?
#1 sugars
#2 sugars + protein + fats
#3 sugars + protein
and once protein urge is satisfied:
#4 sugars

Oh... It kinda sucks, because I have swimming classes in the morning. Well, I guess I can't fast in those days...

And that is not a problem at all, because you can perfectly alternate IF with a normal diet.

Well, that's true, it's not the end of the world. But, in your case, you do IF everyday, right? :P

Btw, regarding this sequence, on the Wayworld.com, on the Food Causing Constipation section says "Don't eat fruits, or something else containing sugars / fibers, within 3 hours after having eaten sashimi or other food containing much protein."Is this information outdated? Because, herm, for example, today, I ate some Raw Salmon and few minutes after 2 Avocados + Sugar... :roll:

No, but it is to prevent any possible digestive issues in newbies.
Digestion issues are very much individually different sensitivities. As such, the above is just a guideline as soon as you are comfortable with eating this way and find what works for you.
If you have no digestion issues when consuming sugar after protein, then go for it!
