Scheduling your workouts while intermittent fasting with Stu Phillips, PhD

Can you workout fasted and not eat until hours later? Learn from Professor Stu Phillips why your overall protein and caloric intake matter more than timing for those who want to get the benefits of fasting and exercise.

I use OMAD or "One Meal A Day" as the most extreme example of daily intermittent fasting, so we can assume that this answer applies to all time-restricted eating/feeding schedules.
