CRON and Bodybuilding: Mutually exclusive?

[Guest guest]

Hi. I've been lurking here for a few months. I'm interested in

trying CRON (or perhaps intermittent fasting) but I have a concern.

I am an amateur bodybuilder, and although I am by no means a

Schwarzenegger and never will be, I am concerned that calorie

restriction taken to CRON standards would cause me to lose what

muscle I've gained thus far, or at the very least keep me from

developing any more. I am also concerned that such austere calorie

restriction will rob me of the energy I need to work out

effectively. Does anyone here have, or know of, any experience with

bodybuilding and CRON? Can one reasonably do both, or are they

necessarily mutually exclusive?

I don't currently monitor my calorie intake now, I only try to eat

healthy such as fruits, veggies and low fat dairy for protein (I'm a

L/O herbivore) and eat no more than to satisfy physical hunger.

Well, there is the 'occasional' binge.

Thanks.
