Intermittent Fasting While Bulk

padelisp

Hello guys,
I am 18 years old and i am skinny fat ( like 12% bodyfat ) and because most of the fat is on my face, my face looks big and i don't like it, so i started doing intermittent fasting to lose fat but i dont want to lose my mass. Is this method helpful for this kind of situation? Will i lose my muscles while doing intermittent fasting?

Maybe... retaining muscle comes from not making your calorie deficit too large, weight lifting, and getting sufficent protien.

I think this method is good in the sense you eat more on lifting days, so you might have more energy to lift.

You might want to just do a recomp and eat at or just below maintenence calories while lofting. Its a slow process but if youre low body fat already it could be good for you.
