Hi

I went to a work-related social/networking event at a pub on Tuesday.   
The had no kitchen staff so they had to stop serving food before I got  
there (fortunately they had plenty of paleo-friendly vodka still).   
The only bar snacks were peanuts and crisps, so they really had  
nothing to eat at all.  (The bar girl actually told me they sold  
"nuts", and when I asked what type she said "salted and dry roasted",  
so I don't think she understood the question.)

Anyway I actually didn't do too bad with having no food all day, so I  
tried to eat extra to make up for it the next day.  (Actually, I think  
I only ate a bit more than I normally would.)  I want to know if I can  
do this long term.  I don't want to go 0-calorie on the off-days, just  
significantly below maintenance.  Also I train at the gym 2 days on, 1  
day off, and I want to eat some sort of protein after training.  (I  
don't know if eating protein the same day is really necessary to  
continue to gain strength.)

There's no way I'll follow this exactly, but I expect my routine will  
hopefully look along these lines:

Training         Eating
    T           Full meal/s
    T        Small protein snack
    -           Full meal/s
    T        Small protein snack
    T           Full meal/s
    -         Very light food
   etc             etc


A few things I'm wondering about:

* how much should I eat if I've been training?  I'm thinking 6 eggs,  
half a pack of bacon, maybe a bag of complete-protein nuts (eg  
cashews, I think pistachios too).

* any ideas what I should eat on the very light days?  I'm thinking  
just veg (roast or steamed, not fried)

* does snacking on low calorie foods interfere with intermittent  
fasting?  eg, will eating celery in-between meals undo the benefits of  
IF?

* finally - and hardest - how can I eat enough food on the on-days to  
make up for the off-days?  To make up for eating ~500 calories on the  
off days I'm going to need to eat pretty much double on the on-days,  
which could be 4-5000 calories.  That's a lot of food!  I don't know  
if I can stomach so much in one go.

Advice and ideas much appreciated
