Comment on That's normal, right?
rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoIf you’re looking for a serious answer, not at all. Snacking all day is the opposite of fasting. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it’s not food.
If he actually didn’t eat all day and then had a huge meal at night, that would be it. That would also be called OMAD (one meal a day), which is a type of intermittent fasting.

I think this more of those “It depends” situations. Does the caffeinated drink have sugar? How many crackers? Which biological processes are you using to get a benefit from?
If there’s no sugar in coffee, you’re body stays in a fasting state*. If you eat three crackers, you might not cause the body to release insulin. But if you’re looking to get the benefits from ketosis, then those crackers will be a problem.
So, it depends.
