Nutrition Does this break a fast?

[LEGENDARY70]

Hello.

Does Nyquil and Dayquil break a fast?

I eat one meal a day (dinner). Usually mix it up with avocado, chicharrones, eggs, bacon, chicken, sausage and mixed greens. I fast from 7pm to 7pm. In the mornings I take an aspirin, one a day for men and D3. I have water and black coffee during the day. Any advice would be great.

thx

Looks like keto and OMAD. In fasting the main point is to keep you insulin low, and everything you put into your stomach raises this hormone. If you want to raise ketone level you can drink MCT oil during the fast, 12-15 ml, but this will also trigger insulin, not to high, but it will. I fast for 20h, and during that period drink only coffee and water.

Dayquil has about 100 calories per serving. so technically will break a fast.

But you have to remember that pretty much all the magic of fasting comes from caloric restriction, so don't worry too much about it. Ori's OMAD plan allows for small amount of calories during the day.
