Does it matter how much you eat or how many calories you consume when you are intermittent fasting? I cover that in this video as well as my overall approach to calories while intermittent fasting to lose weight.

I’m Ryan Johnson. I run the Youtube channel Intermittent Fasting with Ryan. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and have followed many yo-yo diet plans and lost weight, only to put it back on. In 2020 I committed to a slow and steady approach with intermittent fasting and have lost the weight and kept it off. I’m Just a regular guy trying to get off of yo-yo diets. Follow me as I cover my journey and my experience with intermittent fasting. I’m no expert. Just trying to figure this stuff out and love sharing the journey.

Question: I see so many incredibly ripped people that say: I need to eat 2200/2600 calories max to keep my fat under 10%. I dont know if I have faster metabolism, more stress, or workout or more? But I found out I need 3000 calories plus or I lose weight to fast. Is this normal? I walk around 17k steps daily, I workout 5+ days a week by doing calisthenics. Liked and subbed thanks for this very informative video.
This is exactly what I’ve been doing and I lost 10 pounds the first two weeks. I have more weight to lose, but this is like the cheat code. It feels like you’re cheating, but you’re not. This is everything and has all other options regarding weight loss, so muted. I am very happy doing what I’m doing and thank God I found your channel because I’ve had people tell me that I’m doing it wrong even though I’m losing the weight. So I’m grateful to have found your channel.

Brilliant! Thank-you! I'm doing a deficit but still lost with it all. I do 16:8 Monday to Friday and have the weekends off to just kindnof relax a little and not be counting every single thing. I don't binge, just have a normal weekend. I am strict during the week on around 1600 cals per day. Stop at 5pm until the next morning. Only have sparkling water inbetween. Not sure if this is right or not. I have 8 stone to lose so a massive journey ahead ❤
I can eat 3000cal in an hour and I dont lose weight with 16:8
Seriously wondering What advantage is fasting deficit , vs just deficit?
Just wanted to thank you for your insight especially your approach when it comes to calorie deficit and IF through out the week. I got so stressed out about eating Popeyes the other day, which raised the caloric intake I have consumed compared to the days prior. I feel a lot better about my choice after watching this. Thank you and keep up the great content!
Been wondering this all week and bingo, here’s the answer ❤
Keto leads to easier IF, IF leads to less meals which means less calories.
The issue for me is i travel for work, live out of hotels. I cant cook and any meal with any kind of flavor is like 1300 calories. For me to be in a deficit i only get 1 meal a day and a snack. At this point i dont feel like losing weight is even worth it
Your attutude is just Fire🔥You really inspired me to follow the intermittent fasting lifestyle🎉
Thank you Ryan
This is great! I love food and I am looking to loose 10 pounds with my calorie deficit via Cronometer. I am adding intermittent fasting and I can’t wait to see the results!
i do both simultaneously and I'm in a calorie deficit while doing intermittent fasting (i skip my dinner) 16/8 I don't know if it's good or not. it's my third week now
Answered my question within 30 seconds. That's the kind of people you need on Youtube. Answer the main question at the beginning and THEN go into detail! Thanks!
Not true completely. I just used my maintenance caloric intake for 3 months while intermittent fasting and lost close to 30lbs…a little was muscle. I did keep track of my diet and pounds lost every week to make sure my maintenance intake was always correct because as you lose weight your maintenance intake lowers. All in all you have to watch what you eat. Science!
So you eat what you want during the eating window, including carbs?
What should I feel will I am fasting 🤔
This diet is a path to being skinny fat which is pretty unhealthy. He didn't mention that you need high-protein foods in order to maintain muscle or build muscle. Fitness youtuber my ass, you need to ensure eating enough protein to prevent muscle loss another path to skinny fat. There's a point where you wanna stop doing omad or fasting you don't wanna have a skinny fat body as he does and I'm 100% positive he's tucking it in for the photo. These diets need more info that you don't provide.
A very genuine video and informer – thank you
I only want to lose my belly fat. Should I fast or calorie deficit?
I calorie count a-lot so I can enjoy a nice 4k-5k meal with some wine and still lose weight.. great video
Your meals looks delicious!
🙋🏾♀️ learned of your channel from John Mikaelian – looking fwd to the interview/live stream on Sunday! Great tips here.
I use intermittent fasting as a tool. I have a eating disorder but of the see food diet. So I use this to control my eating to not over eat on calories.
Honestly that’s a genius idea, mentally a short term goal tends to put a lot of pressure on some people correct me if I’m wrong but long term goal do make things smoother over time
Such great advice. The best part is you're able to still enjoy your life and eat the foods you love. We love you Ryan!
Ryan I live Jacksonville to
Ryan,
I am still confuse how you calculated your daily deficit. I saw you video about it but I am still confuse. Will you please explain it again?
Thanks in advance,
Doris
This was great!! Have you ever done a week plant based? Would love to watch it if you have!
I really enjoy your channel man, thanks for being so authentic. Much love.
Made it to 90 days fasting doing 20:4 or mostly OMAD. Now time to clean up my diet. 💪
Come on people if IF was that powerful I'd just eat 5000cals and intermittent fast. Someone must have not passed high school as that's the fundamentals of thermodynamics and nobody is breaking the laws of thermodynamics.
