> eat protein throughout their fast too

Aren't these contradictory? If you eat (protein or otherwise) you're not fasting.



I think they misspoke and what they meant to say was that bodybuilders use a zero/low carb diet, in which case their statement holds true.


Their whole argument was around body builders not losing fat when fasting, so if you're right, this is just irrelevant. No one expects people to lose fat when they're not caloric restricted.
