Intermittent fasting: Eating period of 6-8 hours with remainder of 24 hour period left to starvation.

Alternate day fasting: Eating as desired for a day followed by a day of starvation.

Alternate alternate day fasting: Eating as desired for a day followed by a day of eating only 25% as many calories as usual.

OMAD: Eating all required calories in one hour followed by 23 hours of starvation.

Ad Libitem: eating as desired without controls.

Fasting induces improvement in metabolic conditions while caloric restriction does not.

Alternate fasting spares more muscle than calorie restriction; esp. when combined with exercize.

In a single meal only ~0.5g of protein per kg of body weight can be absorbed (Schoenfeld & Aragon, 2018.)

OMAD does not make effective use of protein absorption.

Crossover study of OMAD and 3 meals per day ate same calories per day. OMAD group lost 4kg of fat. Metabolic indicators did not improve. (Carlson et all, 2007.)
