    Hi, I am new to the forum, and using MFP for few months now consecutively, I wanted to try the IF idea, therefore I have a question, is there a way to track feeding/fasting time in MFP or alternatively do you know if MFP will introduce a feature allowing to track the IF, ex. time between last meal recorded for a given day (or diary finished) and first meal recorded next day?

    If you have preferred eating times, you can change the names of your meals accordingly (i.e., meal one, 2 pm; meal two, 6 pm) and ignore the others. Or else you can use the notes space to note your window for the day and how it affected you. If you prefer to mark when you broke the fast from the past day, you can do that too.

    I changed the names of my meals from breakfast/lunch/dinner etc to Meal#1/Meal#2/Meal#3 etc. I track my fasts on an app called Zero.

    OK, I'll throw this out there. I had lost 40 lbs and was stalled at 200lbs. I went to a dietitian who told me to eat 1800 calories a day, but have 2 days a week of 800 cal fasting days with 5 60 minute HIIT workouts a week.

    It did seem to help, for a bit, but then I stalled again. So I don't know.

    If any “trainer” or “coach” belched out a suggestion of five HIIT workouts a week, that would be the last time they’d have my ears in a fitness discussion.

    Did the OP ever come back to clarify what kind of fasting she was interested in? There are so many kinds and I'd hate to overwhelm anyone with advice that doesn't match their specific needs.

    Yep. Card carrying. And yeah, HIIT is in the eye of the doer. ;)
