>A good dietician is worth a few consults if you don’t have the will power to just fast. And as a bonus you don’t lose muscle mass as well because they’ll focus on keeping protein up.

Fasting is like using a nuke where a bullet would do.

How will a dietician measure your maintenance calories? How will they continuously update your macros and calories when your maintenance calorie change week to week?

I am making a claim here: most dietician will not be able to track your maintenance calories better than MacroCodex's algorithm.

Many dieticians simply rely on BMR/TDEE static formulas, and the limitation of this approach is that it cannot reliably track a user's actual maintenance calories well through the span of their dieting journey.
