Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is fully supported by the app.

Depending on your type of fasting, you may or may not need to do anything special. If you follow a 16/8 fasting routine or any other similar within-day fasting routine, you don’t need to use the app any differently. You can track it as normal, and the app will work everything out.

One handy feature you can make use of is the ability to change the hours shown by default in the food log. By default, some hours are hidden so that the food log doesn’t get too bloated with unnecessary extra hours, and you’ll want to hide the hours that you typically sleep since you won’t be tracking very often during those hours. If you’re sticking to a strict feeding window, you can further limit the shown hours with the settings so that you’re only shown the hours of your typical feeding window.

If you use a fasting method that involves skipping entire days, you’ll need to mark those days as fasting days within the app. Normally, when you don’t track anything for a day, the app’s default assumption is that you DID eat something, but simply didn’t log. As a result, it will skip this day in the calculations. If you mark that day as fasting, however, this confirms that you ate zero calories for that day. As a result, the app will treat that day appropriately and factor your zero-calorie day into the calculations.

To mark a day as fasting, navigate to the Habits section of your main Dashboard, where you can see a calendar for all your weight and diet entries. To mark a day as fasting, you’d want to find that day in the calendar, tap on it, and then toggle on the fasting setting.
