It’s asking if, in an intermittent fasting scheme where participants aren’t counting calories and therefore not guaranteed to be cutting them, would they put themselves in caloric deficit? Additionally, how would that compare to participants counting calories? No more, no less.
“All diets work” They were proving/providing evidence that IF is indeed a “diet” as you’ve used the term.
Exactly. Very hard to work around calorie in vs out. How you restrict calories (time, per meal, food groups) doesn’t really matter all that much. Beyond calories nutrient and macro balance will be inportant. Recent research is showing the recommended total protein intake for most people should probably higher. The body has a limit for processing protein and the updated research is showing that the total daily amount required might not be viable within an IF eating window.
