Key Moments
Fasting makes it hard to eat enough protein
Attia says the biggest drawback of time-restricted eating is reduced protein intake. Staying muscular while fasting is very difficult to maintain.
"The biggest drawback of that final strategy is the reduction in protein intake."
Attia recommends a protein shake outside the fast
For time-restricted eaters, Attia suggests a low-calorie protein shake in the morning to hit protein targets, even outside the feeding window.
"I still want you to have a low-calorie protein shake in the morning where you're going to have 200 calories that's basically just protein."
