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 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.
