Hi guys, I am 76kg and 167cm tall.

So I've started this Intermittent Fasting (16/8, 8pm-12pm fasting, 12pm-8pm eating period), coupled with LCHF. (brunch at 12pm which is 2 hard boiled eggs, cucumber and tomato, dinner at around 7pm which is 2 piece of chicken fillet and 2 type of vege, typically broccoli / cauliflower + bak choy / romaine lettuce). In 1 week, I've lost 3kg. I jogged on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, during none fasting period.

I've been reading online coz I want to do Fasted Cardio. Which means I'll wake up at 7am, jog with an empty stomach. But from my research, there is 2 camps, and it's very 50/50

Response A: yes it will burn even more fat.
Response B: it will still use ur muscle energy or something. The side effect will be ur muscle deteriorates.

Would like to know any fitness guru's take on this topic.

Yea. I'm reducing my calories and carbs intake as well during my none fasting period. Just want to hit the healthy BMI. Am overweight now.

I think I'll try out tmr morning for the fasted jog. Let's see how it goes. My previous week I jog for 5km, 6km, 6km. Should I still target the same 6km? Or should I look to reduce since I'm doing it during fasting period?

It's not that.
Calories in and calories out.
but many people don't realize calories in affects calories out.

Let say your current metabolism is 2200 calories a day based on your intake of 2200 calories a day.
So you reduce to 1700 calories and get 500 calories deficit.  What happens in the long term.

week1  --    calories in=1700, calories out = 2200 deficit = 500
week2  --    calories in=1700, calories out = 2100 deficit = 400
week3  --    calories in=1700, calories out = 2000 deficit = 300
week4  --    calories in=1700, calories out = 1900 deficit = 200
week5  --    calories in=1700, calories out = 1800 deficit = 100
week6  --    calories in=1700, calories out =  1700 deficit = 0, <----- At this point no more weight loss and this is where most people complain that they are no longer losing weight. Body metabolism have adapted to low calorie diet.

Now what happens when you start to eat 1900 calories which is still lower than your original intake. ... then you gain weight despite eating less than what you originally eat.

That means I need to do ttde calculation everytime I drop in weight right? That would be more accurate?
