I fasted for a while (40 days) and definitely noticed a slowdown in basal metabolic rate towards the end. Initially I was around 2,600 calories but towards the end dropped to 1,700. Engaging in intense physical activity after ending my fast got me back up to 2,300 calories per day (rowing and CrossFit).
