#2> Protein pacing refers to 4–6 meals/day evenly-spaced, where each meal contains 25–40g of protein
That's a lot of protein, comparable to the amount that bodybuilders consume. Does fasting increase protein requirements?

#3Having water fasted many times, I swear this has something to do with burning all the stored glycogen. I have no backing other than what I’ve experienced myself. I get really hungry for a week after a fast and continue to lose weight or stay the same. Anecdotally, I’ve chalked this up to as long as your glycogen bank isn’t full, you can pretty much eat whatever you want. Water fasting is glorious btw.

#4One should note that the participants (N=20) were divided into two groups with the respective regimens, and put on a controlled calorie diet for the rest of the time. Evaluation was after four weeks.
This study tells us very little. Small sample size, constrained diets without a proper control (protein pacing without IF, or no restriction at all), short evaluation horizon.
There could be something to it, but as they say, that requires a lot of further study. In itself this study provides a hint, certainly nothing close to an authoratative conclusion.

This assessment resonates with my experience as well.

I am current eating around that, and I am by no means a bodybuilder. I shoot for between 150 to 160 grams of protein per day.
There's new discussion these days that western diets are woefully under consuming protein. Based on my own anecdotal evidence this year, I would certainly agree.

"High Carb" for 2200 Cals a day: Carbs:330g Protein:110g Fat:49g
"Low Carb" for 2200 Cals a day : Carbs:138g Protein:248g Fat:73g

I think most of the modern world is actually not getting enough protein.
Every single person I talk to when I help coach them on macros we find out they are not getting near enough protein. (Myself Included)

My understanding is no, the body conserves protein during fasting conditions.

#91700 cal/day seems quite low and I would think would result in weight loss continuing also on non-fasting days.

With all the protein enriched foods[2] I can actually get too much protein. 2.5g per kg is too much even if you workout [1].
