Fasting is not anabolic 😘
Growth hormone sounds cool, but is used as a fuel mobilization hormone. It tells your body to use carbs and fat 🔥
When you fast, you’re not giving your body fuel from food. So systemic GH increases to signal your body to mobilize fuel sources ⛽️
However, this does NOT cause an anabolic response in muscle ⛔️
The increase in GH from fasting does not cause a sufficient increase in skeletal muscle GH to lead to anabolism 💪 and in fact, even exogenous GH doesn’t increase muscle mass, only total body water and connective tissue 🤷🏼♂️
In fact, stimulating muscle protein synthesis multiple times per day by eating protein 3-4 times per day will lead to FAR greater anabolism than the GH from fasting 🍗🥩🍳🍤
Multiple studies have shown that you get greater anabolism through multiple protein feedings than 1-2 big ones (Schoenfeld & Aragon, 2018; Norton (hey that’s me) et al., 2017; Areta et al., 2013; Moore et al., 2012) 🤓
Don’t get caught up in the hype behind fasting. If it fits your lifestyle and you are using it to create a caloric deficit and lose fat, that’s fine, but it’s not optimal for muscle building 🤷🏼♂️... sorry

I just fast because I need extra calories for the weekend.

I do it to sometimes. It's a handy tool.
