We are firmly in conjecture-only territory here, especially discussing a 382 day fast. Having said that, Dr. Peter Attia has some reasonable hypotheses/extrapolations on how one may maintain muscle on a prolonged fast. > "I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that you can “eat” a meal of protein that contains all of the essential amino acids during a fast. This may be one of the benefits of autophagy, which literally translates to “self-eating.” Your muscle cells may be dining off your skin cells, so to speak. > "Obviously, the longer you fast, the more you drain your internal sources of food, and the more likely MPB will exceed MPS over time. (This may also suggest that the fatter you are to begin with, the longer you can eat yourself, and presumably maintain muscle mass for longer.)" https://peterattiamd.com/can-you-maintain-muscle-during-fasting/ https://peterattiamd.com/can-you-maintain-muscle-during-fast...
