So where to begin. I've been constantly reading the benefits of intermittent fasting. I never really considered doing it until now. And I have a bunch of questions on this. My apologies if im come off sounding stupid. As I'm starting my Sarm cycle soon, I want to get my fasting and diet down before I start so I can reap the maximum benefits.
I read up a little on it and starting out the 16/8 I believe it called seems the easiest for me to pull off with my schedule.
Couple questions 1. Let's say before this I was eating around 3k calories spread out through 4 meals through out my day, all clean foods. Nothing processed. So my question is how would your diet/calories per say work into fasting? Do I have to eat those 3k calories within that 8 hour window? Because I don't know the scientific behind how fasting really works, if I cut my calories down , wouldn't the amount of muscle growth be stunted bc im not intaking what I would need to grow or cut and maintain the muscle? If that makes sense.
2. Pertaining to carbs fats proteins. I hear with fasting you really have to limit your carb intake? Or is that somewhat of a myth. Sorry if these questions are stupid. Take away most the carbs means I gotta supplement alot more protein in my diet? Or am I approaching this completely wrong?
3. For example let's say my fast begins at 8PM and ends at/ around 1Pm. Then I eat from 1pm to 8pm. Are there windows to eat and when to eat? I saw some videos saying to just have a nice lean protein as a little snack before a big meal. So like at 12 have a protein like chicken and maybe a protein shake then 1 have an actually big meal. Then not eating till around 5 fot another little protein. Then 6 another big meal then done eating. , my apologies if i got this all twisted just trying to really make sense of it all so I don't mess up

Forgot one more question since I plan on doing my cardio in a fasted state ide be getting up around 4/430 , can I take my cardazol still? Or would that ruin a fast? Or should I try to also work out in a fasted state or that doesn't really matter to much
