If you are eating ketogenically and are not underweight, your body will eat your bodyfat before it breaks down muscles. If you are eating >30g carbs and are not fat adapted, your body will continue to break down muscle protein to make glucose. Fasting also boosts growth hormone production, which conserves muscles.
