Monday - Friday I eat lunch and dinner. Saturday I eat nothing. Sunday I have an early breakfast and mid after noon dinner. I never snack–ever. I do exercise most days and I do that without regard to eating except I avoid exercise on a full stomach. Today I walked 6 miles even though I will eat nothing. I would not hesitate to do a 30 minute cardio session or an hour of lifting if today was the best day for those. May be some sort of nutrient timing would be a bit better for something but I have no time for that.

I do both IF as well as typically 5 day fasts and lift 4x weekly. Don’t change my lifting schedule at all when I’m fasting.

I do IF and workout daily. I workout in the mornings, normally in a fasted state. My “pre workout” is a cup of black coffee w/ a literal splash of HWC. I am also in a fasted state when I take my “pre lunch” walk too. I break my fasts at about 12:30pm, unless I am going for a longer fast. I have been experimenting with walking while fasting and kind of pushing myself. It is amazing how much better my walks are while fasted.

I guess it depends what one means when one says “workout” - exercise for pleasure is one thing (such as walks, dancing, interval housework, etc), intense strength training quite another, cardio jumping classes that raise endorphins but do little for recomposition are still another.
The body’s need for significant recovery time has been well documented - way more recovery than we’ve been taught. Overtraining can be a huge waste of time and effectiveness.
Highly recommend the book by LCHF/keto physician Doug McGuff MD Body By Science - a research-based program - along with Slow Burn Fitness Revolution by LCHF/keto trainer Fred Hahn along with LCHF physicians Mary Dan Eades MD and Michael Eades MD.
Slow intense weight lifting with longer recovery times creates massively better results along with metabolic healing. It’s not about more training, it’s about less, actually. Twice a week max, 15-20 minutes each session.
99% of body recomposition is dietary via LCHF/keto - but the 1% from slow intense strength training (which works both the aerobic and anaerobic systems) can provide amaaaayzing leverage and speed recomposition greatly. I think of it as paleo exercise really, the weight bearing lives of our indigenous & aboriginal were non-sedentary - along with plenty of leisure time!
I do bulletproof/fatty coffee IF 5 days a week, and try to feast 2 days a week.
