Protein and Fasting
Layne discusses the impact of intermittent fasting on lean body mass, highlighting that the 16:8 protocol shows no significant difference in muscle retention compared to more frequent eating. He emphasizes the importance of consuming two to three high-quality protein meals daily while noting that extreme fasting methods may affect muscle mass unless countered with resistance training. Additionally, he points out the advantages of animal studies for understanding long-term effects in nutrition research.In this clip

I'm on a carnivore diet. I wake up at 0600, ride 5km to the gym at 0615, start training at 0630 after a warm-up, and train either resistance or HIIT until about 0730. I ride 5km home and am home by 0750. I want to stay in a fasted state for 16 hours a day. What times should I eat to get the most out of my training and avoid muscle breakdown due to being used for energy?
If I'm trying to limit my eating window to 12 hours and I like training first thing in the morning around 7am (either Tabata or running 8-9k), is it okay if I do not eat anything until almost 1pm, considering my last meal is around 9 pm?
If I train fasted, how long after can I eat?
