INTERMITTENT FASTING IN BODYBUILDING

The sport of bodybuilding is fantastic. Gaining massive amounts of strong muscle, then shedding off the excess to show off all your hard work—this it's the last step that an intermittent fasting lifestyle for bodybuilding would greatly assist with.
The practice of eating called intermittent fasting (IF) involves alternating between times of eating and fasting.
BENEFITS OF IF IN BODYBUILDING-
Improves Muscle Strength when Combined with Intermittent Fasting.
Resistance training combined with intermittent fasting reduces fat and preserves lean muscle mass.
Maintenance of Muscle Mass and Weight Loss with Intermittent Fasting and Endurance Exercise
Fasting does not equal starvation, nor does it result in muscle loss. In fact, it could make muscles stronger.
For bodybuilders, intermittent fasting may produce the best results because it promotes both fat loss and the preservation of lean muscle mass.
INTERMITTENT FASTING PROTOCOLS-
Alternate Day Fasting- Depending on how you execute it, this could be quite helpful for gaining lean muscle. It's one of the instances where exercising frequently and gaining muscle can go hand-in-hand.
OMAD (One meal a day)- If during your off-season bulk you exceeded, let's say, 16–18% body fat, this can be a great bodybuilding cutting diet for you. To really reduce your calorie intake, you might need to limit yourself to just one major meal every day.
**20/4 Fasting-**Literally, this is a 20-hour fast followed by a 4-hour meal. Like OMAD, it Is fantastic for cutting diet but the difference this that your calorie intake might not be quite as low because you're having two main protein dishes separated by four hours.
**16/8 Fasting for Bodybuilding-Literally, you fast for 16 hours before eating for 8 hours. It can be any time of day, but most people choose the 12 to 8 pm eating window. For the first week, all you have to do is move your breakfast back two hours, and for the second week, you just move it back another two hours.
