How the hell do you keep up calorically? I'm interested in IF but I am trying to reconcile it with my daily caloric needs. If I didn't eat anything M-F I would be 13,000 calories behind, and in really rough shape. I already struggle to keep on weight as it is.

Well I suggest you don't try then; I'm in the reverse situation, it seems like I can store energy (fat) very efficiently, and also build muscle incredibly quickly. So this 'diet' or lifestyle is quite suited to me, but I think I'd be careful if I were in your case...
For example my wife can eat is a notch over 5 foot tall, and eat as much as I do, and does not put on weight, however, if she misses a meal, she gets wobbly and dizzy. So fasting is definitely not for her!
I have a pet theory that some people are just very good at extracting energy from food, and some people are very bad at it. Perhaps it's related to a difference in gut bacteria mix or something.
