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.
