Modern Wisdom
Intermittent Fasting and Muscle Growth
The key insight is that while intermittent fasting can be beneficial for some, it might not be ideal for maintaining muscle mass as it can lead to reduced protein intake. Time-restricted feeding does not seem to provide additional benefits beyond calorie restriction, as the hunger signals during fasting have not been shown to be more beneficial than small amounts of satiation throughout the day. Moreover, there is a delicate balance in consuming the right amount of amino acids for muscle growth, as excessive or insufficient intake can lead to amino acids being used as glucose substrate rather than for muscle protein synthesis. The optimal protein intake per serving is suggested to be around 25 to 50 grams for most people in order to achieve the best results.
