Well, it is, but the problem is that you're sabotaging the whole point of fasting and doing super low calories by going overboard the next day.
And you don't have to fast the whole day. Just fast up until dinner, and then eat a reasonable meal. Maybe 600-700 cals for the day. Then, the next day, go back to your 1600. That's how the intermittent fasting is supposed to work. And you only need to fast maybe 1-2 days per week. Any more than that is unnecessary.
