I've read various takes, some say that if you don't eat anything at all, then you lose 100-150g of muscles each week, but if you eat just a little, the muscle loss is considerable.

In your experience, no exercise, no eating ==> no muscle loss?

I tried to do a lighter version of HIIT which got progressively more difficult each day as I read it could prevent loss of muscles and was short enough to finish it with the reserves that built overnight.
