It depends on how many calories you are taking in on non fast days! You should be eating two or three times a week under 500 calories, but the rest of the time OVER your BMR and under your TDEE.
If you do not eat enough calories on your feed days then it can become harmful for your body. BMR is the amount of calories your body needs to function (!) and you will burn that amount of calories even if you were sleeping the whole day! Adding your movement and activity gets you to your TDEE.

Hi and welcome:
Many people do not eat anything on their diet days, and it works just fine. So eat 500 or fewer calories and don’t worry about it.
The longest documented fast was a gentleman that went 54 weeks, 3 days without eating or drinking a calorie. He survived in good health, and 276 pounds lighter – http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/warnings-to-newbies/ There are many, many documented fasts less than that but measured in months.
So I don’t think you have to worry about how much you eat on your non-diet days, either. If you are losing weight the way you want to, stay with it. It is only when you are not losing that you have to look at what you are doing and how to do it differently.
Good Luck!
