Is it really fasting if you're still taking in nutrients? "Fasting" for that long starting at 456lbs is impressive though.

I'd say yes since nothing he was consuming had significant caloric value.

I'd imagine the yeast had a decent amount of calories, but kinda necessary so your muscles and organs don't fall apart when fasting off of fat reserves.

Some, sure. Based on his reported weight loss, his energy deficit was roughly 2500kcal/day average so it can't have been all that much.
