Intermittent fasting & exercise… can you combine the two?

We don’t necessarily recommend intermittent fasting for athletes — especially when performance, recovery and muscle retention are priorities.

But if you choose to use intermittent fasting for weight loss while still exercising, the timing of your fasting window matters.

If you’re using an 8–10 hour eating window, try to structure it around your training:

❌ Don’t go into a workout deep into a fasting period if you can avoid it.
❌ Don’t delay your recovery meal just because you’re “still fasting”.
✅ Make sure you have adequate energy around your training.
✅ Use your fasting period during times when you’re less physically active.

Because when your goal is fat loss, the goal should be to lose body fat while preserving as much muscle and performance as possible.

Intermittent fasting isn’t a magic trick for fat loss — but if it’s something you choose to do, it should fit around your training, not compromise it.
