>train fasted
>remain fasted until the evening
>eat all your food in one meal

>fast for 10-12 hours before workout

Maybe if you want to be weak as fuck during your workout.

this, fasting makes you weak as shit, you should get a shitload of carbs before your workout

>>42394357
how long before?

No.
The body doesn't work in small units of time like that.
The hormonal environments created by your diet and lifestyle take days to fully change based on what you are doing. And you need a specific hormonal environment created by having a reliable caloric surplus to gain muscle. Your idea will probably do wonders for fat loss if you're at a deficit, but you won't gain any muscle size with it, nor with anything while eating a deficit.

But you will also probably gain muscle and minimal fat if you do your idea while in a surplus, so its not all bad.

Just stop looking for some magical way to lose and gain at the same time because aside of steroids it isn't gonna happen and you will be wasting time making little progress.

it takes 6-8 hours to digest foods. fasting is a fucking meme.

eat less calories than you burn and you'll lose weight
exercise and you will build muscle

do both and you'll do both

TL;DR
Eat a lot of protein.
2.2 g per kg of lean body mass (or roughly 1 gram per pound of lean body mass)

Move your chicken to pre work out. Optimal protein synthesis from food occurs 45-90 minutes after intake. Whey powder after you workout.
