Intermittent fasting

I’m trying to set up my times for intermittent fasting for 16:8. When I set my start time as 11:00 AM the stop time automatically defaults to 3:00 AM and I can’t change it. The stop time should be 7:00 PM. How do I fix this?

    Our apologies for any confusion regarding the timer portion of the feature. Our Intermittent Fasting feature tracks your fasted time vs your eating window. So if you set your starting time at 11:00am for a 16:8 fast, your end time would be at 3:00am, as that would be the 16 hour mark.

  • Hmm, maybe the start time means when you begin the 16 hour fast time, so the start time would be 7 PM & the end time at 11 AM ... hope that is correct & helps out.
