Fasting and muscle building -
All in all, muscle is your friend, and far too valuable to sacrifice in an effort to lose weight. Fasting is often blamed for muscle or lean body-mass losses associated with weight loss.
Although fasting often leads to spontaneous reductions in energy intake, calorie restriction CR diets do the exact same thing. No, fasting does not cause muscle loss. According to the research , these include low protein synthesis, lack of regular physical activity, poor hormone balance, low neuromuscular activity, inflammation, and reduced cellular function.
Increasingly, malnutrition is recognized as one of the main risk factors of skeletal muscle loss contributing to the onset of sarcopenia. A recent randomized trial indicated that 12 months of CR resulted in almost double the lean mass loss than daily TRF. Additionally, causal factors of muscle loss are not exclusively linked to fasting; many studies suggest that fasting promotes fat metabolism, increases the production of ketones, and preserves skeletal muscle mass.
And if that proves to be challenging, you can always expand your eating window to allow for more time to hit those protein goals. Your body prioritizes efficiency, and like fasting, this ties back to simple survival.
The only way to combat this is to practice all forms of exercise that require skeletal muscle activity. Unfortunately, by the time you reach your 30s or 40s, your muscle mass is already on a gradual decline.
You can slow or perhaps even halt this decline as long as you incorporate resistance training into your exercise routine. Research suggests that resistance training is a powerful way to maintain healthy muscle mass while fasting. Trained males and females who adopted daily TRF for 8 weeks in addition to resistance training had comparable muscle and strength outcomes to individuals who did not restrict their eating window.
Additionally, the participants in the TRF groups had greater fat mass loss than those who were not following TRF, so their body composition a. body fat percentage was improved. So, when your body senses that energy supplies i. Additionally, yo-yo dieting, or the endless cycle of constantly losing and gaining weight, is linked with progressive declines in lean muscle fat loss.
To our knowledge, no studies have examined whether adaptations in MPB, MPS, and AA oxidation take place over time to an IF protocol. Available literature suggests that following an overnight fast, the first meal demonstrates a similar MPS response to other meals 65 , including those preceded by a large protein containing mixed-meal 4 h prior Randomized control trials analyzing the effect of IF on fat free mass FFM demonstrate similar 19 , 69 — 81 outcomes compared to controls.
As IF often results in negative energy balance and weight loss 16 , 17 , when IF is compared to continuous energy restriction some systematic reviews suggest similar 82 or enhanced 83 preservation of FFM.
The divergence in some of these results may be due to the differences in the types of IF or the self-selected meal frequency by research participants. As discussed above, there is a broad range of IF protocols and those which result in fewer meals e.
It is also important to note that the length of the studies to date may not have been sufficient to elucidate differences in FFM given the sensitivity of body composition measurement modalities used and their ability to detect changes over short i. When IF is coupled with the potent anabolic stimulus of resistance exercise, a systematic review 93 observed no significant differences in FFM outcomes when compared to those resistance training with a normal diet.
However, given the normal diet group also did not experience gains in FFM, as would be expected, the length i. In fact, a recent study suggests that resistance training-induced gains in FFM over 12 weeks are enhanced with a balanced as compared to a skewed daily protein distribution in healthy young men despite consuming a moderate i.
Collectively, research to date evaluating the impact of IF on changes in body composition in young adults with and without prescribed exercise is equivocal.
Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that the hypothesis of IF having consequences for muscle mass in particular may be complex. Based on our current understanding of acute muscle protein metabolism, the potential effect of IF may be small relative to other lifestyle related variables e.
A limitation in evaluating the impact of IF on muscle mass and function is the overreliance on whole body estimates of FFM, which have been questioned as to their ability to specifically delineate skeletal muscle mass given they include substantial organ and non-muscle lean tissue 98 , Therefore, future research should include muscle specific outcomes e.
If the hypothesis of more protein feedings per day being optimal for mass and remodeling based on the acute literature is true, IF may represent a dietary conundrum for some populations. While IF is often employed to reduce feeding intakes, restrict total energy intake, and maintain a low insulin profile to help mobilize and metabolize endogenous fat 13 , 14 , based on our current understanding of the acute, nutritional regulation of muscle protein turnover it seems antithetical to what would presumably optimize muscle protein synthesis and net muscle protein balance as summarized in Figure 1.
There is also evidence that reduced energy availability, which often occurs in tandem with IF 16 , 17 , 20 , increases the per meal protein intake required to maximize muscle protein synthesis 22 , Thus, while this would ostensibly favor larger protein meals that may be characteristic of TRE in particular, it does not preclude the need to consume protein more frequently, which would ultimately also help meet the higher recommended daily protein intakes that enhance muscle and FFM retention with weight loss 59 , If the acute effects of IF lead to detrimental long-term outcomes for muscle, whole-day, and alternate-day fasting would have the greatest consequential effect on muscle mass and remodeling.
This is due to the prolonged period with greater MPB and lower MPS compounded by the greater energy deficient state likely to occur relative to TRE In consideration of TRE, fewer meals would likely have a greater negative impact on muscle protein turnover Figure 1.
If TRE were to be employed, the hypothesis to improve muscle mass and remodeling suggests that protein intake should be consumed at a daily intake of at least 1.
In conclusion, while IF may represent an option for a variety of populations to promote fat loss and improve aspects of metabolic health, additional research needs to focus on the impact of meal frequency on the quantity and quality of muscle mass.
Inasmuch as IF may be purported as the enemy of body fat, future research must ensure this is not also the case for muscle. Thus, studies that concurrently measure muscle protein metabolism and muscle mass and function will be instrumental in resolving these issues.

Feel Gut health diet to skip Fasting and muscle building buipding and let us choose samples for Protein for healthy aging Fasting intermittent buillding, that is is Spiritual healing techniques the rage Fastting days in biilding and fitness. As the popularity of fasting, and Buikding its iterations, has grown, so too have Tart cherry juice for respiratory health number of questions surrounding its practice. Bbuilding of the most common questions regarding fasting, particularly from those who hit the gym frequently is, can you still build muscle when training fasted? The reason for this is that depending on the size and composition of your meal, it can take up to hours to completely digest a meal. So, while you may feel like you have an empty stomach a few hours after eating a meal, your body is still digesting, absorbing, and utilizing the nutrients from that meal. In a physiological sense, fasted typically means that insulin levels have returned to their baseline values and the body is no longer digesting and absorbing nutrients.Fasting and muscle building -

Physiol Behav. To quote Schoenfeld:. The anabolic effects of a meal last a maximum of 6 hours or so. Thus, consumption of at least 3 meals spaced out every 5 to 6 hours would seem to be optimal for keeping protein synthesis continually elevated and thus maximizing muscle protein accretion.
This hypothesis needs further investigation in a controlled long-term study. Now, one discrepancy to note is that Norton recommends eating every four hours, whereas Schoenfeld recommends eating every 5—6 hours. While their recommendations are slightly different, their understanding of the research is not.
Norton is simply erring on the side of eating more often, whereas Schoenfeld is erring on the side of eating a little bit less often. Both lifting and consuming protein increase muscle protein synthesis. After a good workout, muscle-protein synthesis will shoot up and then slowly decrease over the course of a few days.
This is a pretty classic bodybuilding diet, where you eat 4—5 meals per day and have an especially big post-workout meal. Fairly simple, and fairly ideal. Does this mean you should be eating 4—5 meals per day? You can trigger muscle growth just as easily with snacks, such as a bit of greek yogurt, a protein bar, a protein shake, or cottage cheese.
These snacks may make your overall diet easier. Just have breakfast early, have dinner late, and make sure your meals have at least twenty grams of protein in them.
One of the main purported benefits of intermittent fasting is increased growth hormone production. If we eat steadily throughout the day, we miss out on that extra growth hormone.
Should eat more often to get more muscle-protein synthesis, or should we fast to get more growth hormone? Which advantage is greater? Researchers have compared different meal schedules and concluded that having several meals spread out over the course of the day builds more muscle than intermittent fasting study.
However, once again, the difference is going to be very small. So small that it may not even be noticeable. In fact, some studies comparing intermittent fasting against a more normal meal schedule found identical amounts of muscle growth study.
Eating more frequently may result in leaner gains. Eating more frequently makes it much easier to eat enough calories to bulk up. And keep in mind that if you have a smaller stomach or faster metabolism , eating more frequently is absolutely essential while bulking.
It clearly shows that if our workouts, diet, protein intake, and sleep habits are on point, we can make good gains while eating anywhere from 2—7 meals per day. This means that intermittent fasting is still a valid option, even while bulking. Furthermore, some intermittent fasting diets take some of our criticisms into consideration.
The main disadvantage of fasting while bulking is the lack of muscle protein synthesis. However, what if it were possible to stimulate muscle protein synthesis while fasting? This would allow you to get the best of both worlds, right?
Supplementing with leucine or branched-chain amino acids BCAAs sort of allows you to do that. They contain enough of the amino acid leucine to trigger muscle-protein synthesis, but they contain so few calories that Martin Berkhan still considers it fasting.
The strategy works better while cutting, as the BCAAs prevent muscle loss and improve workout performance. There are also types of intermittent fasting where you only fast for one hour period each week. John Berardi used when testing out an extreme bulking plan on the fitness blogger Nate Green Bigger, Smaller, Bigger.
So, how can we min-max our muscle-building results based on all of this research? I have two intermittent fasting protocols you might want to experiment with.
You can still eat several times per day, just keep your protein intake high and your calorie intake low. This is how Jared gained 33 pounds in three months, as shown above. Monday: full-body workout, eat big Tuesday: rest, eat big Wednesday: full-body workout, eat big Thursday: rest, eat big Friday: fully-body workout, eat big Saturday: rest, eat big Sunday: take a break from eating big.
Skipping breakfast increases morning productivity, but you miss out on an opportunity to stimulate muscle growth. This light breakfast could be a protein shake and some fruit, a protein bar and a latte, or even just a smoothie.
These half-fasts are what Dr. Layne Norton recommends to bulkers who are curious about intermittent fasting:. If you want some of the benefits from intermittent fasting but want to optimize muscle mass, I would advise a different type of fast.
Rather than cutting out all calories, simply restrict carbs and fats during your fasting window, but continue to evenly distribute your protein intake throughout the day.
This is what we recommend to our members, and this is how I managed to gain 55 pounds over the course of a couple of years:.
A new study by Tinsley et al. looked into the results of using intermittent fasting for muscle gain. They compared muscle growth between different groups of women, some of whom were eating steadily throughout the day, others who were intermittent fasting using a protocol.
I reached out to Eric Trexler, PhD, for his thoughts on what to make of this for guys doing a bonafide bulk eating in a larger calorie surplus and gaining closer to a pound per week.
He told me the following:. The primary benefit seems to be satiety management when caloric intake is low. As far as my own take on this, I think I might need to adjust my graphs to show a larger boost in muscle-protein synthesis from lifting weights and a smaller boost in muscle growth from individual meals.
We have a brand new study comparing the effects of protein distribution on muscle growth. In this study, the participants were put on a twelve-week weight training program. Half the participants were given a breakfast that was extremely low in protein, whereas the other half were given a normal breakfast containing an average amount of protein.
Both groups ate the same amount of protein overall, and both diets had the same macronutrients. The only difference was the schedule. It also yielded larger increases in strength.
Both the intermittent fasting and the control group were given instructions about how to eat a good diet. Both groups lost a similar amount of weight—around 2 pounds.
And both groups lost a similar amount of fat. HGH has muscle-building and fat-burning properties. Insulin sensitivity and circulating insulin levels also drop. Research has also shown that fasting for certain periods may result in increased fat burning even when daily calories are the same versus typical dieting.
You can finally be full while eating for fat loss! Imagine being able to eat ice cream or pizza every day while getting ripped! Another downfall is that being in a caloric surplus with intermittent fasting is difficult.
Intermittent fasting works best during a cut because you get to save more of your calories for your eating window. If you are an ectomorph and you require a ton of calories to grow, this may not be the plan for you.
However, if you can gain weight on a lower amount of calories, then this can work for bulking. I recommend utilizing a hour fast with an 8-hour eating window for beginning intermittent fasting. You will begin with a hour fast. The good thing is that the hours you are sleeping count toward your fasting window.
What has worked best for me is ending my eating window 2 hours before bed, sleeping 8 hours a night, skipping breakfast, and not eating my first meal until mid-afternoon. I like that approach because I am not a breakfast person and my hunger levels are higher after work. The best way to determine your windows is to look at your daily schedule and see what times would work for you.
During your fast, especially in the first week or two, you may experience hunger pains. This feeling is normal because your body is used to eating during the day and not used to fasting.
However, here are some things you can do to help you get through your fast:. For some reason, black coffee acts as an appetite suppressant. Working out fasted should have no effect on your gym performance, especially once you get used to it.
Training while fasting can even give your pre-workout a boost. With nothing in your system, your pre-workout will hit you harder. One thing I recommend doing if you plan on training fasted is to consume g of BCAAs before training. BCAAs will help to prevent any muscle from being broken down during your session.

However, this approach belies the established anti-catabolic effect of insulin on skeletal muscle. More importantly, muscle protein synthesis, which is the primary regulated turnover variable in healthy humans, is stimulated by the consumption of dietary amino acids, a process that is saturated at a moderate protein intake. While limited research has explored the effect of intermittent fasting on muscle-related outcomes, we propose that infrequent meal feeding and periods of prolonged fasting characteristic of models of intermittent fasting may be counter-productive to optimizing muscle protein turnover and net muscle protein balance. The present commentary will discuss the regulation of muscle protein turnover across fasted and fed cycles and contrast it with studies exploring how dietary manipulation alters the partitioning of fat and lean body mass.

In fact, however, our metabolism has adapted over the course of evolution: Muscle mass is thus protected even during periods of starvation, whatever it takes! However, this is not muscle protein. Rather, our bodies process defective proteins, e.
