Now if we talk
about intermittent fasting and muscle gaining then a question arises in front of us.
whether we can do muscle gaining by following this pattern ? Is it ? So before that, let us tell you , if you are a vegetarian, then you have to prepare a fasting alert in such a way that you have a good amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats and fasting, if you are vegetarian then it is very important to keep in mind that sources of veg protein are very less, if you want to gain muscle, then you need to add some multivitamins and some supplements in your diet and also you'll have to make some changes in your workout. If you are a non-vegetarian then you will not have to pay so much attention to your protein requirement during fasting because you can fulfill the protein requirement with eggs and meat. And if you're not able to consume meat everyday, then you can also add supplements to it. You can do muscle gain even while you are a vegan , but you will need some plant based protein supplements for it. There are some bodybuilders who are doing bodybuilding along with intermittent fasting. But fasting without speed can be difficult for some people. So, we will give you this suggestion that if you fast, either do it by staying vegetarian and if you want to do fasting along with body building so, non veg is best option for you.
