Your information is not current

1) You don't even know the basics in causing autophagy to occur. Caloric restriction is not what does it....one can restrict calories and still be eating foods that raise blood sugar and insulin. Glycogen in the liver must be depleted as well.
The information is current. I linked to that paper because it's a pretty comprehensive overview published in a peer reviewed journal. If you're going to assert that we've completely changed our understanding of autophagy since 2014, you're going to have to substantiate that.

And again, you're talking about starvation-induced autophagy, and again, autophagy occurs at basal levels and can be induced in other ways including in nutrient rich scenarios, which are not prevented by snacking.

2) The study you posted is over 8 years old. Why would you choose to believe what is presented in a study done in 2014 while ignoring the more recent research I posted that won a Nobel Prize in 2018?
...

The 2016 Nobel Prize was awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his work in discovering mechanisms of autophagy which he carried out in the nineties.

Could you please stop? It's getting painful.
