Ok so I wanted to do the 16:8 where I fast for 16 hours with an 8 hour window my question is can I still do it today if my last meal was at 2am and I have my next at 6pm? Is that too late? I ate really bad yesterday and I olive fasting the next day only problem is I ate really bad early in the am.

    It’s fine. Like your other threads...just stay within your calorie limit. Whether it’s for the day, or a weekly average. Intermittent fasting isn’t magic. It’s just a way to help some people control the amount of calories they are consuming.

    You can eat in any schedule you want. If you want to lose weight, you have to not eat above your maintenance level, but you can average your calories out per week. Your body doesn't care.

    Eat at the time you normally would and stay within your calories. If you ate later then normal, or start earlier then normal it's not a big deal. From what I've read on IF it's more of a guideline of when to eat. It's not supposed to be rigid. It just helps you manage your calorie intake.
