When I was younger, regular eating was considered healthy. Nowadays I read that fasting has benefits. I really want to know what is better and why.

Let’s assume same calories, nutrients and macro if that’s possible.

If you’re not an athlete, don’t have athletic pursuits, can actually consume all that food in that time, and don’t have underlying medical issues that prevent your body from utilizing glycogen/fat stores properly or require specific diets/nutrient timing, then yea doesn’t matter.

Most people don’t check all those boxes and also are emotionally affected by food so regardless of the lack of health ramifications, it would not work out for them
