Can you have bone broth while intermittent fasting?
Quick answer
Bone broth breaks a strict fast because it contains calories and protein.
Step by step
01 Look up the calories and ingredients for bone broth.
02 Choose a rule before the fast starts so you are not deciding while hungry.
03 Use the same rule for at least a few fasts before judging whether it works.
The longer answer
Bone broth breaks a strict fast because it contains calories and protein. In everyday intermittent fasting, the easiest rule is to keep the fasting window to water, plain tea, and black coffee unless you intentionally follow a modified fast. Track the choice so you can see whether it affects cravings or consistency.
Tip
If bone broth makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
Common mistake
Changing the rule for bone broth every day and then not knowing what actually helped.
