Generally (and certainly most of the recent fasting trends) fasting is referred to as no more than 500 kcal intake, which is of course different to a ‘true’ definition which would be nothing, except maybe water
500 Calories!? That’s so much.
1 large boiled egg is 80 Calories. So like eat 5 or 6 eggs and you haven’t broken your fast??
500 calories is my breakfast most days. that's not a fast!
500 cal doesn't constitute for water only fasts.
Fasting definition keeps changing. There is water only and then there is water only and less than 500 Cal.

I guess that depends. 500 calories is 1/3 of my wife’s maintenance calories.
Not that you're wrong having it, just something to realize. Will almost certainly have a negligible or even positive effect on weight loss.
