i put answer in 14/15 day Red... i'm not sure if you want EXTRA protein during your fast, i'm leaving it out during fast...some think it slows down weight loss and/or keeps your digestion going so that your hunger doesn't go away. But they have both, you could experiment, see what works for you. There's no problem NOT getting enough protein while you fast...the first long fast i did, 20 days, i checked my muscle and fat content of my body...of the 31 lbs i lost, 29 were fat, so only 2 lbs muscle, and that may have been dead, bad lean tissue of some kind.
