Yes, IF can be a great tool, but when we care about maintaining the muscle we spent so much effort building or have aspirations of getting really lean low body fat percentages - not just smaller, that still require some additional planning.

You can’t just ignore your nutrition because it gets a little difficult to track during the holidays or stop being consistent because you ate more than intended at a special occasion and want to fast completely to make up for it. That’s not going to lead to the results you want.

You still need to adhere to some basic muscle sparing principles if you want to get really lean. It doesn’t need to all be boiled chicken, rice, and broccoli at every meal, and IF can help facilitate some occasional food choices by pushing more of our nutrition together, but I’d encourage finding a better balance.
