maybe if u have a decent amount of bf & zero gains whatsoever. otherwise no. U can maintain most of it. longer the fast goes more u loose. also though when u start eating again you'll make the muscle back easy.

Yes im doing it atm and I don't even eat anything but still go gym and lift 5/6 days a week. Only problem is you have hardly any energy for gym so your lifts won't be at the levels they should be.

I've also been still gaining weight or maintaining since muscle is more dense than fat.

You go and lift after like 2-3 days of not eating?

Yea and sometimes at most I will eat only small meal a day in the evenings after going gym in afternoon. Like pasta and tuna or some pieces of chicken or maybe a sandwich.

Bruh how on earth do you have any energy to do compounds like that? Also for some reason that looks like it would be worse, you aren't getting in any protein so it sounds detrimental

Based, im doing a lean bulk like 250 caloric surplus but sometimes caffeine fucks up my sleep and i need to take benzos before bed to sleep, but the benzos make me turbo hungry for some reason and I just start binging shit like bread and butter, deli meat, mayo
