Not to be a pedant but if you're eating regularly (AND minimum 4 times a day) then you're really not fasting at all.

You're just watching what you eat, two very different things.

You are wrong, he had a 16 hour period between last and first meal, which is a standard IF “fast”.

Wouldn't 16 hours break classify as fasting?

This is normal 16-8 IF with additional rigidity of schedule.
