You're understanding is limited.

For a nice review check out this one [1]. Although most of 16:8 effects are minor, they build up over time.

> TRF 2826 ± 412.3 kcal/day, carbohydrates 53.2 ± 1.4 %, fat 24.7 ± 3.1 %, protein 22.1 ± 2.6 %

> ND 3007 ± 444.7 kcal/day, carbohydrates 54.7 ± 2.2 %, fat 23.9 ± 3.5 %, protein 21.4 ± 1.8)

Any ideas why the TRF group has less calories and more protein than the ND group in the linked study linked in the article [0]? _Maybe_ the TRF group has smaller humans than the ND group, but then why would TRF have a higher protein diet?

> Some studies have found that 16:8 can preferentially reduce fat mass while sparing muscle, but further research is still required to confirm this

Bro-Science Body Builders know that a high protein diet + calorie restrictions are perfect for cutting abdominal fat. I don't see what value IF provides here.
