Hello! I'm a plant based eater, and suffering what are some good refeeding options for a prolonged fast.
How likely is it that I’ll get it? I fasted from about 10PM on Wednesday to 8AM today (Friday), and have had 500kcal so far today. Can I eat a normal amount of calories today, or should I stop eating?...

This is my first extended fast. Should refeeding be something to worry about after a 5 day fast? I’ve done 48s and had no problems eating a huge meal after , but should I take it slower with 5 days?...

I am coming off a 7-day fast in 7 hours. I want to eat tomatoes for my first meal. Is this ok?
