4. Intermittent Fasting may help lower daily calorie intake
Although I’ve briefly touched upon this already, I’ll go into a little bit more detail here.
The first thing to consider is that weight loss/weight gain comes down to an energy equation.
Calories in – Calories out = Net Weight Gain
So, if you want to lose weight, then you need less Calories In than Calories Out.
In other words, you need to be burning more calories than you’re eating to lose weight.
So, you can either burn more calories through exercise, or you can eat less calories.
(We’re obviously focusing on eating less calories here.)
Since intermittent fasting reduces the time period between each meal, you’ll be less hungry for your 2nd meal meaning your portion size (and thus calorie intake) will be smaller.
