Yes

No, they're a type of calorie restriction, as is intermittent fasting.
- tyrefd 2y agoOkay, we agree. This just seems painfully pedantic. > Intermittent fasting is any of various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting (or reduced calorie intake) and non-fasting over a given period.[1][2] Methods of intermittent fasting include alternate-day fasting,[3] periodic fasting, such as the 5:2 diet, and daily time-restricted eating.[1][4] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting
- djur 2y agoIntermittent fasting is different than calorie restriction. There are calorie-restricted diets where you eat small amounts constantly throughout the day (this used to be the go-to recommendation of doctors). Intermittent fasting doesn't even necessarily entail calorie restriction.
