The speaker discusses their personal high protein intake, consuming between 1 to 1.5 kilograms (2.2 to 3.3 lbs) of animal protein daily. They suggest that women generally do better with a protein intake of 200-300 grams. The speaker then elaborates on intermittent fasting, specifically a 16:8 protocol (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating window). They highlight the benefits of this fasting window, including autophagy, mitophagy, brown fat activation, and lipolysis. The speaker emphasizes that while fasting is beneficial, it's crucial to ensure adequate nutrient intake within the eating window, contrasting this with the idea of trying to manage with only one meal a day.

I regularly eat between a kilo and 1 and a half kilos of animal proteins each day. So that's um 2.2 lbs and beyond, which is it's a big bolus of protein.

I tend to find that women do best with two to three for that reason. And if we put the meals within an 8 hour window, then we can still be in a fasted window for 16 hours and then we still benefit from autophagy and mphagy, brown fat activation, lipolysis, all of these magical things that we associate with fasting.

But that's not to say that you can't fast at all. It's making sure that we obtain enough nutrients in that window when you do eat opposed to trying to juggle one meal a day.
