Bate doesn’t worry too much about protein intake – he just eats a lot of healthy and nutritious food to make sure he gets all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients he needs. And he gets all this done between 1 pm and 9 pm as he follows a type of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating. Bate often starts the day with a smoothie or porridge with almond milk and nuts and seeds. Dinner consists of lentils, chickpeas and other pulses.2Levesley, D. 2019.
