Intermittent fasting options

Hello,
I use intermittent fasting and am happy to see the app has some functionality toward it.
However, I do shift work, so not being able to finish a fast in the morning to then start again before a night shift is currently not possible in the app, as it sees two instances of fasting in one day, which it blocks. I tried editing, but the entry is still blocked due to this restriction. Also, I happened to fast for a little under 30 hours, and this is also blocked, as beyond it's 24 hour limit.
Ideally, what I would like to see enabled is, rather than have just the stringent ratios - 22:12, 16:8 etc - there also be an option to just manually start, as now, but then also manually stop, when i come to break the fast. Also, an option to create custom ratios, for those who want them, would be another good addition.
Thanks.
Riki.

Thank you for this feedback and insights on the Fasting features. I just passed this along to our internal team to consider when making future updates!0

A start / stop timer for extended fasts like 48 hour or more would be a great feature change0
