I was wondering what everyone takes for supplements when fasting?

    One thing I found that works great and helps with hunger is some BCAAs with a little extra glutamine and some creatine Monohydrate.

    It's amino acids...and I've read, although I don't know how accurate this is, that you don't want to take the BCAA's while in the fasting state, only in a fed state.

    I take two multi-gummies and two chocolate calcium chews with my OMAD (23:1)... but I do just IF with "normal" macros 50/30/20 and no LCHF diet.

    BCAA are branch chained amino acids- these are protein supplements generally used by body builders and people trying to build muscle. Same for glutamine and some creatine Monohydrate.
