Fasting is generally considered catabolic, meaning it promotes the breakdown of molecules for energy. During fasting, the body uses stored energy reserves like glycogen and fat for fuel. However, intermittent fasting can also have some potential anabolic effects, such as increasing growth hormone levels and promoting cellular repair processes.
