What's the science of cravings showing up at night?

I fast every other day and usually eat slightly above maintenance on non fasting days, as my TDEE is usually around 1700kcal, I get on average ~900kcal/day which means I have an average deficit of 800kcal each day, which is 5600kcal/week

as each pound of fat is 3500kcal, I burn roughly 1.6 pounds of fat a week, which is depressingly slow especially when I consider that I'm also burning some muscle as well desu.

you have a fair amount of bodyfat so long term fasting shouldn't be particulary difficult or dangerous for you, however if you've never fasted before it's going to be rough.

I recommend doing one fast a week or so until you feel confident pushing for longer fasting periods, alternatively you can do what I do and fast every other day, I find this particular style of intermittent fasting to be really managable and I have plenty of energy on the days I do fast.

For weightloss? Only if you're a giant lardass or someone with a very active lifestyle, as you get thinner your BMR is going to get so low that you have to count calories regardless of how you eat

Keto is good for maximising nutrition (as long as you take suplements for your vitamins) on low calorie diets though, proteins and healthy fats are very important to healthy bodily function whereas fibres and carbs not so much. I would do keto but I like apples too much and I don't consume diary for skincare reasons so I basically do Paleo instead which is probably a total meme
