I log it, but I have stopped doing any thing resembling a structured IF. Should the calories count as a break in fasting? I should think they do, physiologically so I'd say yes. Then again, I'm no expert.

I count the BPC calories in my daily total. I don't consider a BPC morning a true fasting morning, although it has similarities.

I log them.

This sounds like that, "ice cream calories don't count if the freezer is still open and you're standing there when you eat it."

Of course they count. Caffeine does raise your metabolism some (as does standing by the freezer), but not enough to cover off 300- 400 calories. The premise is that the fat and oil are used for energy rather than turned to fat the way carbs would be. That said, your body is using that as a fuel instead of all that fat your body already has.

I usually do my cardio at low intensity in the morning (1 - 2.5 hours at a 4 minute pace), under a fasted state. As a result, my body goes through what little bit of glucose it can find and then starts burning fat. I can actually feel the point when this starts happening. On nights I didn't have wine, it happens earlier.

Don't get me wrong, I love my coffee. And I'll occasionally add a bit of coconut oil to it (especially when I've been eating more red meat than fish). What it does for me is push me to eat fewer carbs on those days as I have to focus on lean meats and vegetables to get my protein and not go too far over on fat.

I log it!
