Another middle ground:

Fast 2-3 times a week. Take adequate protein if trying to build muscle...

Keep a fluid approach...

I had a friend who rarely, or never ate in front of me...

Any time he did, it seemed only out of politeness.

He seemed to have a fair bit of muscle, used to fight as a young man.

He wasn't visibly jacked, but I reckon he could lay 90% of people out in less than 20 seconds.

But I rarely saw him eat.

Once I asked him: If you don't eat, where do you get your energy from?

He put his hand, palm out, in front of him... moved it around, and made an "absorbing" hand gesture. Kind of hard to describe.

I understood that he just took energy from the environment. He was a grounded guy

Viewers of The Great and Secret Show will know him as Blim-Blim of Shuanglian.

The key to this Inedia business, for most of us, is to eat "sometimes" whatever sometimes means to you. Once a day, every other day... get some scales, be honest with yourself, and see if you're getting the body you want.

I think OP is right, it can technically be done.

For me, I think protein drinks with chlorophyll and wheatgrass could be a realistic partially-Inedic staple.

I know one thing. Stuffing your stupid face with crappy carbs 3 times a day is idiotic. It's the path to sluggishness and zombie-land.

Every 3-4 weeks or so I go on a bread and noodle carb binge. I feel revolting, depressed and tired when I do it.

I don't know how normal people survive.

Oh wait, they don't.
