Not sure why I’d pass out from just not eating, I had plenty of body fat on me for the entirety of the fast. I wasn’t starving myself.

Estimating by weight loss my metabolism was still burning well over 2500kcal daily at the end of the fast.

Agreed. Pretty much my numbers as well - around 300 gr weight loss a day.

An example:

A person with 14 % body fat and 74 kg body weight has around 10 kg fat. That is more than enough to go for about 30 days without any calorie intake.

Yeah, my weight loss was around 1.3 lbs or 600 grams daily. I'm a large human though.
