Does intermittent fasting (e.g., time-restricted) without calorie reduction/increase make it easier or more difficult to gain muscles when exercising?
Does intermittent fasting (e.g., time-restricted such as 16-hour fasting and 8-hour eating windows) without calorie reduction/increase make it easier or more difficult to gain muscles when exercising?

All the studies I've seen so far such as {1} use an intermittent fasting that reduce the calorie intake, which introduces a bias when comparing intermittent fasting and non-intermittent fasting.
