I certainly think these records are quite dubious, even for innocent reasons.
But FWIW: when I started intermittent fasting I didn't even eat much on my non-fast days. It was part of an OCD phase on life tracking so I fetishistically measured and recorded everything I ate or drank[+]. I was working from home so wouldn't eat outside the house.
And even I didn't believe my myfitnesspal records. Except that since I was only eating what was in the house it was pretty clear that I really had only eaten one egg: there were the other 11 in the box.
But wow, without the OCD attitude I don't think it's possible.
[+] And what a waste of effort. A lot of work, little insight. It wasn't just food (and I changed my diet to things I could more tightly control in terms of macros) but weight and sleep and what I bought and how much I spent...a lot of work for very very little insight.
