Two meal today burn

Today I ate two meals and my calories burned are way higher

I’m now curious of omad was slowing my metabolism down?

Maybe I should eat really well on one day then fast 48 or 72?

The positive is that I think I figured out why I have not been seeing great results and not feeling great like before on omad. Thinking maybe my body got used to it after years of doing it

Answer

A good number of people have blamed fasting for slowing their metabolism.

The mechanism that may accomplish this is an upregulation of the enzyme SCD1, which converts saturated fat into monounsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats slow cellular metabolism down, and is one key way that animals get the signal to slow down their metabolism for winter when food is less available.
