    Not that I have seen or even experience when I did 16:8. I really does come down to total calorie consumption over the day. When you eat the calories, is largely irrelevant. So if you like IF, please continue to follow it. But if it prevents you from getting adequate calories and/or nutrients, you may want to modify it.

    I'll probably continue due to it helping me have greater control, though I may struggle sometimes to eat enough.. I do prefer that over easily eating too much.

    I've just found a nice article on diet doctor for intermittent fasting for beginners. I'll read this and see if I still want to continue

    All I'm really asking is what is the importance of eating to my bmr as the minimum? Do I risk losing muscle more if I don't

    If you don't want to lose muscle, lift weights. If you aren't hungry, don't eat, but I suspect that lifting weights will make you hungry. Then: eat adequate protein.
