Does homemade citrus water with limes or lemons break an intermittent fast IF? 🍋‍🟩🍋

I'll do what I've done for many incremental changes which is to start testing and see if I continue to reach my weekly body composition goal using a Withings scale or the Navy measurement method [2] when traveling.
