Intermittent Fasting alternates eating and fasting windows while meeting daily nutrition goals.
| Protocol | Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 16:8 | 16 hours fast, 8 hour eating | Keep protein and calories on target |
| 14:10 | 14 hours fast, 10 hour eating | Easier social fit |
| 5:2 | 2 lower‑calorie days weekly | Plan training and recovery accordingly |
Fasting is a scheduling tool, not a substitute for total intake control.
