    If you're fasting 3 days a week I would not recommend eating 1200 cals the other 4 days. 4800 cals a week just simply isn't enough and you'll end up sabotaging your own weightloss. Your average calories should be 1200 a day at MINIMUM. So if you're fasting 3 days a week it means you should eat AT LEAST 2100 calories on your non-fast days.
