Wrapping up a 48hr fast, question about mushroom coffee

Hi, I’m on the final stretch of a 48hr fast but I’m wondering if my morning bulletproof coffee might have broken it.

I add 1g of Chaga mushroom and 1g of Lion’s Mane to Butter and MCT oil. I know the fats aren’t breaking it, but as far as I understand, anything greater than >1g of carbs or protein in a day will break a fast. So is 2g of mushrooms going to significantly impede autophagy, or is it more or less fine?

Guess next time I will just drop the Chaga

Thanks

What are your goals?

Is your goal to maximize autophagy and other benefits of fasting? Then yes that bullet proof coffee breaks the fast and will trigger some level of a digestive response.
