How are you defining fasting?
24 hours, sunrise to sunset, 12 hours, 6 hours?
Many posters on here practice intermittent fasting and eat during a short window.1 -
I typically fast for 9 hours from breakfast to dinner, & then fast for a further 15 hours from dinner to breakfast.0

During the dieting/cutting season I fast for 16hrs (6pm-10am) but it's not just for caloric limitation, it has other benefits as well.0

When I lived with my ex Id fast from dinner to lunch.. Basically skipping breakfast
Id eat lunch between 2 and 4 and had dinner between 9-11
Now since moving into a poor house I just eat dinner1 -
I am doing Intermitted fasting for the past 3 months now, and it's pretty awesome how amazing one can feel, mentally and physically!!0

I generally don't eat after 8pm because I don't feel well when I eat late. In reality my last meal is dinner about 6:30 and breakfast is 6 am the next morning.1

I've moved from 16:8 to 5:2 not too long ago. It feels less restricive because eating at TDEE most days is nice.
I do 590 on Monday and Wednesday; 2360 every other day2 -

Only if you are able to achieve a calorie deficit. If you fast and then gorge on food, you can still gain weight. But many find it easier to maintain their calorie goals while fasting.1 -
Is fasting different from what many of us do after dinner before the next meal?0

It's generally for extended periods of time and they eat within a given window. 16:8 is the most common. So after you eat your last meal, you fast for 16 hours and limit eating to only 8 hours.0 -
I do intermittent fasting-my schedule is usually 14:10 I can lose weight if I follow my calories and macros-I can gain weight if I pig out. It isn't a magic bullet by itself, but if you follow your calorie deficits and stay within your macros it is a great way to increase fat loss0
