whats the lowest calorie intake you have been on?

[FatBunnyBaby]

and how many lbs yall lost

 

[Gandy]

Zero cals for ~48ish hours. I can do it a few times a month to burn off an extra ~4000kcal or one pound (half a kilo) per fast.

Feels too bad trying to push for 72+ so I never do it. You start thinking about food constantly at this point and it isn't comfortable.

During normal cuts I just go 400-500kcal under maintenance so around 1500kcal a day, or 1800kcal on lifting days with ~200g protein.

Probably shouldve done 800 to 1000 calories instead to get enough protein to not lose as much muscle

Won't 48hr fast make u catabolic ??

Will lose weight faster for sure, but for people where keeping muscle is important it could be bad no?

I did not have any muscle at that time... it was the beginning cut. And I went full autistic.

Nope, even a 48h fast (as long as you eat normally the other 3-5 days of the week) is considered a form of intermittent fasting, which has been proven in peer reviewed studies (with various control groups trying to lose weight under the supervision of doctors) to be neither catabolic or anabolic, but preserve current muscle mass.

Does Intermittent Fasting Make You Gain or Lose Muscle?

Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular diets these days. This article tells you everything you need to know about the effects of intermittent fasting on your muscles.

Going into extreme fasts like 5 days, 10 days, 15 days will be catabolic and is not good for maintaining muscle mass though though. You will lose a ton of fat, but you will also lose muscle mass on those extreme diets.

I very rarely go beyond 24-30 hours though. It's a nice boost to fat loss, but it's also mentally fatiguing to do. I do a nearly daily 24h and towards the end I have always felt hungry even though I've been doing it for countless years, that feeling never goes away. A 48h fast (for me) is bordering on extreme, I can do it occassionally.
