MFP logging fasts?

I practice intermittent fasting, and I’m currently in a 48 hr fast and if I don’t log anything in my diary, will it not count towards participation here? Sometimes when I can’t get all the calories I should get, it won’t count my diary log for the day and that kinda sucks imo.

    There's no particular benefit to closing your diary. Just checking in daily is all you need for a streak.

    i never close my diary (or i did by accident once). so just odn't do that.

    however I am curious on why are you fasting if you already have days you don't eat enough?

    You don't even need to log into your diary to keep your streak. I only use the message boards and have an over a year streak.

    Fasting is part of my personal health plan, sometimes eating keto makes taking in a lot of calories difficult. Thank you both for the tips, I’ll just track then delete from now on
